Remove the friction. Join the movement for a free, united D.C.
The Economic Conveyor Belt
Fares are friction. WMATA can be a barrier to groceries and leisure. Movement should never be taxed as a service. It must be offered freely because it is an economic necessity. Transit is a conveyor belt for disposable income, maintaining the flow of the local economy.
85% Ridership Surge
In 2018, Dunkirk, France, eliminated fares. The result wasn't just more people on buses—it fundamentally revitalized their downtown core, bringing massive foot traffic to local retail.
Reinvesting Transit Budgets
Kansas City's Zero Fare Transit program didn't just move people; it moved capital. Without fareboxes, residents reinvested their transit budgets directly into local groceries, cafes, and small businesses.
