The Youth Ride Free program, which allows youth ages 6 to 18 to ride OC Bus for free to school, sports, work, and other activities, started in September 2021 and was extended by the OCTA Board of Directors on February 14, 2022.
Starting in March 2022, OCTA provided extended blue passes through schools, an online request form, or walk-ins to the OCTA Store. Updated parent request forms will need to be submitted in order to receive the pass. The pass issued in March will be good through September 2022, after which time a new pass will be provided.
This free pass for youth ages to 6 to 18 will allow them to get to all their important destinations on our safe, clean reliable buses.
