Get a summer’s worth of rides on buses and light rail with a Summer Student Pass!
Any current 9-12th grade student at RHS, RCEP and the South Education Center can get unlimited rides on Metro Transit buses and trains up to a $3.25* fare. Graduating seniors may purchase a Summer Student Pass if they were enrolled in a participating school in 2022. Passes are valid from June 1 through Sept. 6, 2022. Summer Student Passes cost $30.
How do you get one?
Visit metrotransit.org/summer-pass for more details about the pass and to order one using a credit card. All you need is your school’s name and your student ID number. If you’d rather use cash, you can buy a Summer Student Pass at a Metro Transit Service Center. Call 612-373-3333 or visit metrotransit.org/service-centers for locations.
Have questions? Call Metro Transit at 612-373-3333.
* For fares higher than $3.25, like some Northstar trips, just add stored value to your pass.
