Donuts and orange juice will be given to morning riders at the Northtown Transit Hub, Star Tribune newspapers will be available on the buses, and there will be a raffle of gift certificates from local merchants. Also, free rides will be given on Traveler fixed routes all day. Over the noon hour a program and reception is planned. Invited speakers include Metropolitan Councilmember Natalie Haas Steffen and Anoka County Commissioner Margaret Langfeld, both of whom were instrumental in getting the Traveler service started in the county. Anoka Traveler history and memorabilia will be on display at the reception, and cake will be served.
All events are open to the general public.
It has given many county residents a convenient and economical way to travel, and it has helped many of our disabled residents with their transportation needs. It is becoming an outstanding program.
