Metro Transit

All youth will be able to ride transit for free by showing one of the following:

  • Taping your ORCA card when you board and exit
  • Showing your current high school or middle school ID card
  • If you don’t have either, you can still ride for free

A recently approved Washington State measure will allow youth ages 18 and under to ride public transit for free come September.

ALL BSD student issued ORCA cards from the 2021-22 school year will become your Free Youth Transit Pass, so do not throw away your ORCA Card.  If you still have your card, please stop by the main office for instructions on how to register your card.
