Pinellas County's Cold Night Shelters have been activated for Tuesday, January 7th.
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 will be free from 5:00pm to 7:00am during the activation. Riders must tell PSTA drivers that they are going to a Pinellas Cold Night Shelter when boarding to ride fare-free. If clients are being denied fare-free rides, they can ask the drivers to contact PSTA dispatch.
