Mission Statement

Everybody Rides Metro exists to provide reliable transportation to the economically disadvantaged of Cincinnati, assuring access to employment, education, health care and other vital services as they work towards self-sufficiency.

About Us

Everybody Rides Metro is a charitable foundation that subsidizes Metro bus tokens and passes for low-income individuals to support self-sufficiency.

The foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and is the first foundation of its kind in the country. Donations are tax-deductible.

The Everybody Rides Metro foundation was created by the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority board of trustees and received its 501(c)(3) status in September 2006. The foundation is a non-profit organization and is not part of SORTA or Metro.
