What better way to say “Thank You” to those who protect our communities then FREE tram admission during the month of August. For the entire month, all qualified first responders receive free admission to the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway as part of – First Responders Days. In addition, up to four of their guests receive 25% off of their regular tram fares. According to Tramway General Manager Nancy Nichols, “We are happy to have our second annual ‘First Responders Days’ and welcome the men and women who so courageously protect and serve our communities. We truly hope they enjoy their visit with us and make cherished memories with their families and friends.”
Some of the qualifying personnel include, Fire and police personnel, California Highway Patrol, County Sheriff Officers and Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs,) This program runs August 1-31, 2019 with tickets (only) available at the Tramway’s Valley Station on the day of visit.
