Enjoy the Nevada County Fairgrounds’ Draft Horse Classic with free bus fares! Hop on any Nevada County Connects bus Thursday Sept. 18 through Saturday Sept. 20 and enjoy a stress-free ride to the fairgrounds or throughout Western Nevada County and help reduce traffic and carbon dioxide emissions.

The County of Nevada Transit Services has received a Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) air quality grant that provides public transit funding assistance for projects that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve mobility.
