Free Summer Youth Passes
PICK UP A FREE SUMMER YOUTH PASS IN YOUR SCHOOL OFFICE!
Available to all Madison students grades 6 through 12
As part of Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway’s MetroForward initiative, the City of Madison is teaming up again with the Madison Metropolitan School District to distribute a summer bus pass to ALL middle and high school students.
This special summer program provides free rides to students from grades 6 through those just graduating from high school to make it easier to get around to jobs, athletic camps, friends’ homes and other fun summer destinations.
Riding transit is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint! A typical trip on public transit emits 55% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than driving alone.
Use this year’s pass to try out all Metro’s redesigned routes that go into effect on Sunday, June 11. Metro’s new service operates more often, involves less transferring, and overall is easier to use.
Ride Metro’s new routes to the list of fun summer destinations below. If you’ve never taken a ride on Metro, use this summer’s pass to give it a try!
