The seasonal River District Trolley is set to return Nov. 21 after the Lee Board of County Commissioners voted to approve an agreement with the city of Fort Myers and the Fort Myers Community Redevelopment Agency to offer the fare-free service.
Both the LeeTran Blue and Gold Line trolleys provide free access to and from the historic downtown Fort Myers River District. The service cost of $733,119 is funded by the city of Fort Myers and CRA contributing $366,560, and a Florida Department of Transportation Transit Service Development grant contributing $366,559.
The Blue Line runs through downtown Fort Myers. The route loops from the Oasis Condominiums to West First Street and McGregor Boulevard along First Street, then to Rosa Parks Transportation Center, Fowler Street and Second Street. The Gold Line connects North Fort Myers to downtown Fort Myers. The service will run through April 23, 2025.
