The goal of Rideshare Week (the second week of October) is to develop an awareness of how individuals commute and the impact these choices have on their wallets, health, community, and environment. Modesto Area Express (MAX) wants to help you make a smarter commute choice (such as biking, walking, carpooling, vanpooling, or riding MAX) by making MAX free from October 6 through 12. All fixed routes and commuter routes are free! Give ridesharing a try, you have nothing to lose – literally!
