What to know about using Connect Card on the Flyer:

Super Susan In the beginning, there was traffic congestion, but deep beneath the noxious gases heroes emerged. By riding the Flyer Shuttle, local heroes combat evil smog and protect our air. Commuting downtown on the Flyer saves money and punches out traffic. We are proud to introduce one of those heroes! Susan has been a loyal Flyer Shuttle hero for eight years. She has made this her daily work week routine because it saves money on gas and parking. She knows when she is riding the Flyer she can sit back, relax, and not have the stress of driving in commuter traffic each day. For Susan, it has been a win all around, but she especially, "...enjoys meeting her friends on the Flyer." |

The Doc Is In Bike Doc is back in action for its fall season. Bike Doc - a mobile bike shop on wheels - will be available to fix bikes for free at a variety of events throughout the next few months. Bring your bike (only one bike per person), and let a professional mechanic fix it up. Experts will be on hand to adjust, inflate, change, tune-up and grease. Bikes are received on a first come, first served basis, and bike repair will be limited to event times. All major repairs will be referred to a bike shop.

The Air Up There High temperatures can contribute to an unhealthy air quality, but that isn't the only factor that triggers a Spare the Air Day. Spare the Air Days are announced when the AQI for ground-level ozone pollution is forecast to reach 126 or above. Sign up for Spare the Air Alerts and ride the Flyer Shuttle for free when a Spare the Air Day is announced. Spare the Air Days are determined by 1 p.m. the day prior. |
