Sacramento sports teams launch campaign to push transit improvements

1 min to read

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Sacramento’s professional soccer and basketball teams launched a social media campaign called “Fix My Ride 916” to politely push the Sacramento Regional Transit District to improve its service, image and relationship with the public, The Sacramento Bee reported.

Sacramento Republic FC and Sacramento Kings officials say the campaign on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter will give riders and non-riders a forum to post comments, questions, gripes, ideas, photos and videos — and a chance for RT to respond. The push is in advance of a new downtown arena set to open in October 2016, where transit is set to play a large role in moving people in and out. For the full story, click here.
