Free Ride To Vaccine Appt 03.01.2021 0850 5 JS

Free transit rides to and from vaccination appointments are becoming commonplace. Santa Cruz Metro recently joined the list of transit agencies who will offer a free trip aboard their bus service for those going to and from a scheduled vaccination appointment.

Other agencies include Valley Transit Authority of Santa Clara County, Bay Area Rapid Transit otherwise known as BART, and AC Transit which is offering vaccine shuttles.

Transit riders simply need to show their vaccination card or email confirmation of the appointment in order to receive the fare-free ride.

Meanwhile, Monterey Salinas Transit hasn’t been able to offer a similar service due to a lack of mass vaccination sites within their county.

Saturday Salinas Concert 03.01.2021 0530 1 JS

On Saturday, Salinas Police responded to a loud music complaint on Rianda Circle, one block away from the police building and officers could hear the music from the station parking lot.

When officers arrived, a large concert stage with live band  was in the business parking lot. Over 100 people were in attendance.

Officers located the event promoter, Hector Campos.  Mr. Campos was very upset at the officers, wanted to know why they were on his property, and demanded they leave. 

A police supervisor responded to the scene and Mr. Campos was issued a citation for the loud music and directed to shut down the concert.

The officers, using considerable restraint and discretion, addressed the noise complaint, shut down the event, and peacefully dispersed the crowd without incident.
