Yakima Transit will once again be providing free shuttle bus service to the Central Washington State Fair all ten days of the fair. Shuttle buses will run continuously from the Park and Ride location at Gateway Center (home to Target and other stories). Shuttle buses will load passengers at the Yakima Transit bus stop located north of Office Max and take them directly to the front gates of the fair.
“This year’s shuttle service is being operated the same as previous years,” said Acting Yakima Transit Manager Alvie Maxey. “Yakima Transit has been providing free shuttle bus service to the fair for several years. It has been successful and people have come to rely on it,” said Maxey. “Shuttle buses will begin operating a half-an-hour before the fair opens each day and will stop running a half-an-hour after the fair closes each night. The Yakima Transit shuttle bus really is the best way to get to and from the fair,” said Maxey.
All regular Yakima Transit bus routes and schedules will operate normally throughout the fair with standard fares being charged. The #6 Fair Ave./No. 4st St. route also serves the fairgrounds at least hourly from the Downtown Transit Center until 6:25 pm.
