MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. -- The Michigan City Mayor's Office announced as of Dec. 1, the Michigan City Zero-Fare Transit System will provide free public transportation to all riders.

The Michigan City Board of Public Works & Safety approved a new policy authorizing the elimination of all passenger fares on Nov. 17.

“This initiative reflects the strong leadership and vision of Mayor Angie Nelson Deuitch,” Transit Director Robin Barzoni-Tillman said. “Her commitment to increasing mobility, reducing barriers for low-income and transit-dependent riders, and expanding economic and community access has guided this effort. The mayor has emphasized that public transit is essential infrastructure, and removing fares ensures that every member of the community can travel freely, safely, and affordably.”

City officials say eliminating fares will enhance service efficiency, reduce boarding times, and improve overall rider experience.
