RIVERSIDE, Calif. – The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) are proud to announce the launch of “Experience Metrolink” through IE Commuter. Starting today, residents of Riverside and San Bernardino counties can receive complimentary Metrolink tickets for up to 90 days, providing an opportunity to experience train travel for work or leisure anywhere Metrolink operates across southern California.

“Whether you are commuting to work or exploring southern California, Metrolink provides a relaxing way to travel,” said Karen Spiegel, Chair of the Riverside County Transportation Commission and a member of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors. “With Experience Metrolink, more residents can discover the convenience of passenger rail and experience firsthand how the service can fit into their daily routines.”

This program aims to introduce more residents to the benefits of Metrolink, encouraging them to make train travel a more frequent choice for commuting or recreation. By increasing transit use, the initiative also helps reduce traffic congestion and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Signing up to receive your free tickets is simple. First, visit IECommuter.org/RideFree and create an account to request your tickets. Then ensure you have a corresponding Metrolink account (via Metrolink Mobile App) with the same email address. The tickets will appear in your Metrolink App Ticket Wallet within three business days. Commuters using Metrolink for work may qualify for additional incentives through IE Commuter.

Experience Metrolink is made possible through grant funding from Caltrans’ Low Carbon Transit Operations Program and IE Commuter – a program of RCTC and SBCTA – in coordination with Metrolink.
