Madison County Transit is lowering its fares and eliminating local fare boundaries. As of May 9, all fixed-route trips within Madison County will be reduced to $1 per ride, and trips to St. Louis and St. Clair County will be $3. The cost of the various passes are also being reduced.
These changes are reflective of a nationwide trend to make things easier for riders, as MCT Managing Director SJ Morrison tells The Big Z.

SPRINGFIELD Madison County Transit is receiving $165,000 for improvements to the Confluence Trail.
The grant was one of seven totaling $885,300 announced Wednesday by Gov. J.B. Pritzker to help communities develop and improve bike path facilities.
“As we head into the warmer months, families across Illinois will spend more time outdoors on the state’s bike paths,” said Pritzker. “These grants provide critical funding for local governments to develop or improve existing bike baths, a good investment in safe transportation that also expands local recreation opportunities.”
The Madison County project will receive $165,000 for a half-mile trail improvement that begins near the westerly end of the pedestrian bridge over Wood River and ends just west of the wooden structure under a conveyor.
