The Seattle Times, December 6, 2015: Free ORCA cards for low-income students next year
“Starting next year, the program will expand to all Seattle middle- and high-school students who qualify for free or reduced lunch — thanks to the efforts of Bayo and other Rainier Beach students who lobbied for the change. The Seattle City Council’s 2016 budget, approved in late November, includes $1 million to pay for the passes.”
