FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) Fresno city leaders have launched a new proposal that would eliminate city bus fares to encourage people to take public transportation to keep Valley air clean.
Fresno city councilmembers Tyler Maxwell, Esmeralda Soria, and Vice President Nelson Esparza held a press conference on Friday to introduce the Zero Fare Clean Air Act.
