Martinez Kids: Get Your Ticket To Ride All Summer Long
511 Contra Costa is kicking in $25 per rider to make the unlimited Summer Youth Pass much more affordable for kids and their families
MARTINEZ, CA — For $35, youth ages 6-18 can take unlimited bus rides all summer long thanks to a program spearheaded by 511 Contra Costa. The Summer Youth Pass is valid June 1 through Aug. 31 for kids using these transit systems: County Connection, Tri Delta Transit and WestCAT.
This same pass regularly costs $60, but 511 Contra Costa is kicking in a $25-per-pass subsidy to make it more affordable for kids and their families.
Passes are available at the new 511 Contra Costa online store. Passes can also be purchased in person at the administrative offices of County Connection, Tri Delta Transit and WestCAT. For more information, visit 511cc.org/youthpass.
