Seattle public high school students—and some college students—will have free public transit
“Seattle has been slowly building up transit accessibility for young people. After lobbying from students at Rainier Beach High School, Seattle implemented a program for low-income students to get free bus passes. A pilot program last summer offered youth bus fare on King County Metro buses at 50 cents (or $1 for Sound Transit). At the time, City Councilor Rob Johnson told us that he was working toward free transit for everyone under the age of 19.”
