Pinellas County's Cold Night Shelters have been activated for Tuesday, December 3rd.
The National Weather Service expects the "feels like" temperature to reach the high 30's during this time.
Through a partnership with the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA), bus rides to and from Cold Night Shelters are now free. Riders must tell PSTA drivers that they are going to a Pinellas Cold Night Shelter when boarding to ride fare-free.
