Let freedom ring! Calvert County buses will go fare-free starting July 1, 2024. The fare-free model is expected to save $46,500 in annual farebox maintenance costs, resulting in an overall cost savings in the capital project budget.

Public Transportation currently offers eight fixed bus routes and four demand-response para-transit routes. Riders may board or exit the bus at any safe location along the route. Check the website for routes and schedules.

Heat, often combined with high humidity during the summer, can create serious health risks. Older adults, infants and those with certain chronic illnesses, such as asthma, are particularly at risk. 

During periods of extreme heat, staying in an air-conditioned area is the most effective way to prevent heat-related illnesses. Public places like libraries and community centers, and senior centers for older adults offer temporary respite from the heat.

Learn more about heat safety and find preparedness information from the Department of Public Safety.
