SALEM, MA – The Salem Skipper, the City’s low-cost public ride-sharing service, will provide free trips to and from the Salem Willows on Fridays and Saturdays throughout the summer. The service operates Fridays from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The Salem Skipper does not run on Sundays and only operates within the City of Salem. Please note that masks are still required on board the Skipper. To book a free trip to the Willows, riders must set up an account using the Salem Skipper app.
“With the start of phase 1 of the Salem Willows signature park project, some folks may be worried about trying to find parking near the Willows,” said Mayor Kim Driscoll. “While there’s no net loss in public parking during the project, thanks to the adjacent alternative parking area, this free ride offer on the Salem Skipper provides another way for people to come and enjoy this remarkable public park and all the nearby businesses this summer. Whether you bike, walk, take the Skipper, or – for Salem residents – enjoy a free ride on the Salem Trolley, there’s no reason not to get out to the Willows this summer
