Palm Tran, Palm Beach County’s public transportation agency, will offer free one-way rides for passengers who use the new park and ride lot in Wellington. The free rides will be offered Monday, December 7 through Friday, December 11.

Passengers who park their cars in the lot will ride one-way for free on Palm Tran’s Route 40 or Route 52. Route 40 is a limited-stop express bus, which travels east into downtown West Palm Beach and west to the Lake Communities. Route 52 serves Royal Palm Beach. 

The Wellington park and ride lot is located off Forest Hill Blvd. on Wellington Green Drive, behind the Estates Shopping Center and the Hampton Inn near the Mall at Wellington Green.

This new park and ride lot is a demonstration of Palm Tran’s dedication to expanding public transportation options in Palm Beach County.  The project was completed with the cooperation and assistance of the Village of Wellington and funding from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).
