PSTA Giving Away Free Haul Passes

Pinellas County kids who want a ticket to ride for free this summer have the chance to win free passes courtesy of PSTA.

The Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority has announced it is giving away six free Haul Passes this week as part of a social media summer giveaway. The passes, which normally cost $35, provide kids unlimited rides throughout the summer with an end date of Aug. 31.

To win the free passes, kids are being asked to take part in a contest that involves finding PSTA employees in public locations. Employees will be at the following places this week:

• June 3 – Shoppes at Park Place, 1 p.m.; Largo Skate Park, 3 p.m.
• June 4 – Tyrone Square Mall, 1 p.m.; Sundial, 3 p.m.
• June 5 – Pier 60, 1 p.m.; Countryside Mall, 3 p.m.

PSTA will post on social media about an hour before each scheduled time the exact location within the venue where employees will be. The first person to find a staffer with a giant “Haul Pass” sign will get their own pass to take home.

To play the “human scavenger hunt,” just follow @RidePSTA on Twitter or follow the agency on Facebook or Instagram.

Pass winners must show a valid youth ID to claim the prize. For more information, visit www.psta.net.
