Los Angeles County residents and visitors are invited to participate in a powerful effort to protect our environment and promote healthier living. On Wednesday, October 1, 2025, Metrolink is offering free rides systemwide in honor of California Clean Air Day. This is a unique opportunity to leave your car behind, step aboard the train without a ticket, and travel across Southern California — all while contributing to a cleaner, greener future.

Public transportation plays a critical role in reducing harmful emissions and alleviating traffic congestion. Every train ride helps decrease the number of cars on our freeways, which directly impacts air quality across Los Angeles County and beyond. By choosing to ride Metrolink on this special day, you are making a statement: clean air matters, and together, we can take meaningful action to protect our communities.
