Free Summer Youth Passes
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.
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!
