Ring in the New Year in Central Texas
2023 is full of potential and promise. Our agents are excited to ring in the new year, and we hope you are too! A new year can mean new beginnings, new traditions, new goals, and perhaps a new home to get these all going? New spaces can usher in so much change and growth.
As New Year's Eve approaches, remember that it's important to take time out to celebrate the milestones in life. While setting new goals and resolutions, make sure to take time to celebrate that which you've accomplished. A new year marks a new beginning, and we know many of our customers, neighbors, and friends want to get things started in ways they won't soon forget.
When planning to ring in the new year, remember that the Waco Transit System will be offering FREE rides to and/or from your destination! With a service like this, they hope to ensure everyone makes it home safely! The service will be available from 6 pm to 3 am. To schedule a ride, call: (254) 750–1620.
