The Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) has extended its spring break Park-N-Ride promotion.
- PSTA extends spring break park-n-ride promotion
- Free roundtrip trolley rides to Clearwater Beach
- Visitors to park in designated lots, take trolley to beach
They will now offer free roundtrip trolley rides from downtown Clearwater to Clearwater Beach.
PSTA and the city of Clearwater have been working to solve the problem of parking during spring break on Clearwater Beach.
Public transportation seems to be the best way to clear up the traffic on the beach.
“This partnership has certainly demonstrated the value of public transportation,” said Vice President of Tourism for the Clearwater Regional Chamber, Kristina Alspaw. “It has made the Clearwater Beach experience even more enjoyable for our tourists, residents, and even the locals who work down on the beach.”
Anyone planning to use the trolley can park at one of three designated Park-N-Ride lots.
From there, a PSTA Suncoast Beach Trolley or PSTA’s contracted Jolley Trolley will pick up the riders and take them across the Memorial Causeway onto Clearwater Beach.
“Working with the city to solve their parking problem has really allowed us to show our residents and visitors the novelty of riding public transportation,” said PSTA CEO Brad Miller. “The view from a trolley on top of Memorial Causeway is truly one of a kind.”
The spring break promotion runs through April 30.
