Salem Mayor Dominick Pangallo Announces Return of Free Trolley Program for Residents 

Salem Mayor Dominick Pangallo, in partnership with the Salem Trolley, is pleased to once again offer free rides on the Salem Trolley for Salem residents starting June 1st and lasting until September 30th. Residents can receive a Resident Ticket by providing proof of residency at the Salem Trolley office (8 Central Street). 

“I want to thank the Salem Trolley for their generosity in once again working with us to subsidize this terrific program to make it possible for Salem residents to take advantage of a free trolley ride,” said Mayor Pangallo. “They are a true asset to Salem and our business community.” 

2023 marks the eleventh year of the free trolley ride program. Since the start of the program in 2013, a total of nearly 12,500 rides have taken place.
