Muni rolls out free rides for people traveling to get COVID-19 vaccine, joining BART, AC Transit
Source: Mass Transit
Feb. 19—The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency will offer free transportation for people traveling for their COVID-19 vaccine, Mayor London Breed announced Friday.
Starting Tuesday, people getting a vaccine at any of the city's mass or neighborhood sites, Department of Public Health clinics, pharmacies offering vaccinations or any other sites outside of San Francisco can ride for free. All they need to show is proof of their appointment, which could be a photo or email, or vaccination card.
Paratransit rides will also be free to and from vaccination sites within the city's service area.
Giving free rides supports the city's goals of getting San Franciscans vaccinated as soon as possible and making sure sites are equitable and accessible by public transportation, Breed and SFMTA director Jeffrey Tumlin said in a press release Friday.
