BUS PASSES
MONTEREY COUNTY — Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST) will provide a free day pass to those who receive the Covid-19 vaccine. MST has recognized that for some, transportation to a vaccination clinic can be a challenge. Individuals simply present their Covid-19 vaccination card to an MST customer service representative at any of its customer service window locations (Salinas Transit Center, Marina Transit Exchange or Monterey Transit Plaza) to be eligible to receive a free day pass to use at any time. Passes are available for each dose received. Visit mst.org or call 1-888-MST-BUS1 for more information.
