Youth Summer Pass Provides Freedom For Orange County Youth

As summer approaches, OCTA is once again offering the Youth Summer Bus Pass to provide a safe, reliable and inexpensive means of transportation for Orange County youth. The Youth Summer Bus Pass is a special 3-month bus pass for youth 18 and under, and is valid for use beginning June 1 through Aug. 31. The pass is valid for use on all OCTA fixed-route buses, and is available for sale beginning May 1 for the low price of $60.

Last year more than 3,700 youth took advantage of the Youth Summer Bus Pass, taking over 200,000 trips during the 3-month period. In an effort to spread the word about this pass, OCTA will be launching a marketing program targeting both youth and parents. Ads will be placed in high school newspapers, online and on board OCTA buses, and flyers will be distributed countywide.

The Youth Summer Bus Pass will be available for sale at all Orange County Ralphs, Vons, Pavilions, and Northgate markets, as well as the OCTA store and on OCTA.net.
