Maui Council passes bill to create fare-free bus program

The Maui County Council voted unanimously to approve the creation of a fare-free bus pass program, an initiative that Councilmember Gabe Johnson introduced during this year’s budget process.

Johnson said Bill 81, FD2 (2023) allows qualified individuals to access a bus pass at no cost. Qualification can be based on income, age, disability status, Medicare status or student status, he said.
