Metro Transit's Park and Ride Program

If you live far away from a bus route, why not try Metro Transit's Park & Ride program? If you have a Dalhousie U-Pass or a monthly transit pass, you can drive to one of the 14 Park & Ride locations, park your car for free (in most cases) and then take the bus or ferry to Dalhousie. You will use less fuel, you will not be contributing to traffic congestion in the city, and you will not have to worry about finding or paying for parking!

Other transit options such as an employee bus pass are being explored.
