San Benito RideShare has launched a new website to make it easier for San Benito County residents or visitors to find information about travel options. RideShare is coordinated by the Council of San Benito County Governments and its new webstie is www.SanBenitoRideShare.org. The site provides commuters with a free matchlist through an interactive, on-demand system that helps people find others who would like to ride to work together through carpools, vanpools or bicycles.
The San Benito County Local Transportation Authority board of directors are reviewing options for increasing fares for county express bus service and the medical shopping assistance program. On Feb. 21, they opened the public comment period on the two potential plans.
