FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) - Trinity Metro is providing free rides for job seekers on all of its services.
The company said it recognizes how during the COVID-19 pandemic, many Tarrant County residents suffered job losses and are looking for new employment opportunities.
"The pandemic impacted many people's careers," said Wayne Gensler, vice president and chief operating officer of bus and paratransit. "We know job seekers will be using our services to travel to job fairs and interviews, so we want to help them by providing free rides."
