Summer Bus Passes For Sale



Help your students get a summer’s worth of transit rides for just $20!

Metro Transit just announced a special offer for students at high schools that offer the Student Pass program. For just $20, your students can get a special Summer Student Pass that gives them unlimited rides on buses and light rail all summer long! It’s perfect for summer jobs, sports leagues and all the other fun that summer brings.

The Student Summer Pass is valid from June 1 through Sept. 8, from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Students can use it on any bus or train in the metro with a fare up to $3 (for fares higher than that amount, like some Northstar commuter rail trips, students will need to add value to their passes.)

Students can go to metrotransit.org/summer-pass to get more details about the pass and order one by using a credit card. They can purchase a pass with cash or a credit card at Metro Transit Service Centers.

Eligibility
The pass is available to all students enrolled at a participating school (one per student). To purchase a pass, the student must provide your school's name and their student ID number. Metro Transit will deny purchases without this information. Seniors may purchase a Summer Student Pass if they were enrolled in a participating school in 2015.

Replacement
Unlike the school-year Student Pass program, students will contact Metro Transit directly about lost or stolen Summer Student Passes. Students MUST register their pass (registration is free) with Metro Transit to receive a replacement pass. A $5 processing fee will be charged.

Help us spread the word!
Attached to this email is a poster that you can forward to students and parents, or display in high-traffic areas.


Again, this is a fantastic opportunity for high schoolers this summer. Help your students take advantage of this offer by passing along this information. Thanks in advance for your help.
