The Fresno City Council voted to approve the Zero Fare Clean Air Act (ZFCA) on a 5-2 vote on Thursday, February 18th, 2021. “In Fresno, the most common Fresno FAX riders are young women of color with children going to work or school, said Councilmember Maxwell. “By eliminating bus fare for all residents, the ZFCA will alleviate costs for families living with little to no income, offer reliable transportation to residents returning to employment after the pandemic financial crisis, provide reliable access to COVID-19 vaccination sites, and get Fresnans to school and medical appointments.”
