Ride Metro Free to Receive Your
COVID-19 Vaccination
To support the COVID-19 mass vaccination event taking place March 18-20 at Xavier University's Cintas Center, Metro and Access paratransit service will provide free rides on all routes each day of the event.
Metro will also provide a free shuttle service using Access vans to transport riders from two designated bus stops to the main entrance of the Cintas Center from
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.
The Cintas Center is served by Metro Rts. 4, 31, 51 and Metro*Plus. Customers are encouraged to use the Transit app to plan and track their trips in real-time.
The shuttle service will pick up from Metro bus stops located at Montgomery & Dana and Woodburn & Dana in addition to making stops at the Xavier University parking lot C-2 and their overflow parking lot.
Metro is offering the free rides in partnership with the Ohio Department of Health, Ohio Department of Transportation, City of Cincinnati, Hamilton County and the Health Collaborative. Rides are funded through a new “Rides for Community Immunity” program announced by the Ohio Department of Transportation, which is offering $7 million in funding distributed across Ohio’s 88 counties to help transport the state’s most vulnerable populations to vaccine locations.
