The OnTheGo Expo takes place Thursday, Nov. 13, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Robinson Park Recreation Center in Pasadena. Admission is free.

Options include rideshare services, public transit, e-bikes and delivery programs.

Other free or discounted services available at registration include ActiveSGV’s reduced e-bike rentals. Pasadena Transit offers discounted TAP Cards for adults 62 and older.

Among other programs, Pasadena Department of Water & Power provides e-bike rebates up to $1,000. Day One runs an adopt-a-bike program.

Metro On the Move assists adults 62 and older with travel across Metro. Metro Micro provides low-cost, on-demand rideshare.

Most programs require ID for registration.

Attendees who pre-register receive a free resource bag. Free rides to the event are available upon request during registration.
