Summer Youth Ride Free 2024

The annual Summer Youth Ride Free is a Rideshare program that allows K-12 students to take the bus for free during summer months. No pass is required. Students simply present their student ID to the driver (when they've been issued one - for younger students this may not apply). This program gives youth a positive exposure to transit services.

Discounted Fares for K-12 Students

The City of San Luis Obispo is launching a new pilot program to encourage more students to take the bus to school and around town. The K-12 Ride Pass is a 15-ride pass that does not expire and costs half the price of a regular bus pass at only $11.25 or 75 cents per ride. Starting school is the perfect time for families to buy their students a pass as they figure out their daily commute.

The following discounted fares will be available for students K-12:

1 Ride Pass: $.75 (Available on the bus and the Token Transit app)

15 Ride Pass: $11.25 (Available on the Token Transit app and at the City Finance counter, 990 Palm St.)

On January 23, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 11473 (click for resolution), approving the pilot program offering expanded fare and pass options, increasing access to affordable transportation for K-12 students and providing minor financial relief to parents while also increasing local transit ridership.
