Greenway wants to guide everyone to the local adventures along the bus routes in the cities of Conover, Hickory and Newton this summer. As part of this campaign, three new resources have been made available to the community by Greenway Public Transportation.
The first is a student passes that offers unlimited rides for one price from May 16th, 2016 until August 31st, 2016. Any student with a valid student ID may purchase the “Adventure Pass”. These passes are available now for purchase at the Greenway Transit center in downtown Hickory, and at the Greenway Dispatch Office located in Conover.
Along with the student pass, a Destination Guide is available in print and online at www.mygreenway.org. The destination guide is designed to show how easy and fun it is to access community events via the city bus, highlighting local attractions accessible from the current fixed bus routes in Catawba County. Access the Destination Guide by clicking here.
To draw attention to the local agencies featured in the guide, Greenway will be running an ongoing social media promotions called “Find Me Fridays.” In this fun way to give back to ridership, a greenway staffer will host a virtual scavenger hunt. The rules are simple: find “Dot” around town by following the clues posted on Greenway Public Transportation’s Facebook page, and Twitter account (@WPRTA). The first person to find “Dot” will win a prize that highlights that week's venue. All the featured locations will be inside the Destination Guide, and fully accessible by the fixed route bus lines. Make sure to follow Greenway Public Transportation on Facebook or @WPRTA on Twitter and participate in the "Find Me Fridays" fun!
Passengers interested in receiving more information about the Student Pass, Greenway Destination Guide, “Find Me Fridays” promotions, the fixed route system, and/or Paratransit services should call the dispatch office at 828-465-7634 Monday through Friday 8:30am to 5:00pm or visit www.mygreenway.org.
