You already know that Viva<\/a>\u2019s great for the environment, with every single Viva vehicle able to replace 70 cars on our region\u2019s crowded roads. And we know you\u2019re excited about the vivaNext rapidways<\/a> that are coming to York Region<\/a>, which are going to make it even easier for Viva riders to get around quickly and comfortably.<\/p>\n

And if that\u2019s not enough, now YRT\\Viva<\/a> is giving you a great new reason to get out of your car and onto Viva. We are proud to support Canada\u2019s national Retire Your Ride<\/a> program, which offers $300 for every pre-1995 car that is taken off the road. You can choose to receive the $300 Retire Your Ride payout, or if you are one of the first 100 local residents to turn in your old car to Retire Your Ride, you can receive a reward from York Region of six months\u2019 Viva\\YRT Adult 1-Zone passes, worth $105 each. That\u2019s a total value of $630!<\/p>\n

Environment Canada<\/a> estimates there are 83,000 older cars in York Region that would qualify, which means they are a 1995 or older model, in running condition, registered and properly insured for the previous 6 months.<\/p>\n

If you have an older car, or know someone who does, now is a great time to trade it in for cash or a free ride on us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
