May is Mental Health Awareness Month, but caring for your health is important year-round.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, help is just a call, text, or chat away.

📞 Call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. You’ll be connected to a trained crisis counselor for free, confidential support.

🚨 If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911.

🚲 It’s National Bike Month!

Did you know 3% of MVTA riders bike to their bus stop or station? Combining biking and transit is a great way to reduce emissions and stay active.
