The Easton Main Street Initiative and West Ward Community Initiative have announced an extension of the All Aboard Easton trolley program. The free Saturday service, operated through the Greater Easton Development Partnership, will now run through the end of the Easton Farmers’ Market season.

The program originally launched on July 25 as a four-week pilot project. Strong ridership numbers and community interest prompted organizers to extend operations beyond the initial trial period.

The trolley operates every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., providing direct transit between neighborhood centers and the downtown area. Key stop locations include Paxinosa Elementary School, Cheston Elementary School, the Neighborhood Center, the Fourth Street Garage, and the Easton Farmers’ Market.

Riders receive access to on-board volunteers who distribute maps, neighborhood guides, and wristbands. The service provides complimentary rides and bottled water for passengers traveling from the West Ward and South Side.

Organizers designed the initiative to reduce transportation and parking barriers for local residents traveling downtown. The Greater Easton Development Partnership is currently seeking business and corporate sponsors to secure funding to keep the trolley operating beyond the current market season.
