Kitsap Transit has extended its fare-free period through May 30 to help limit the spread of COVID-19.

The fare suspension began on March 23 and April passes already purchased were refunded to customers. On April 1, Kitsap Transit cut the number of routes due to a shortage of operators and a steep drop in ridership.

Fares are not collected on all Kitsap Transit services, including ferries, vanpool, buses and the Annapolis Park & Ride
