LTD Student Pass: Students Ride Free

Parents, no one’s ready to watch their kids grow up. But we all want them prepared for the real world.

Riding the bus helps students build independence, responsibility, and connections with their peers one ride at a time.

To get started, visit the school’s main office and ask about the LTD Student Transit Pass.

You and Your Student Can Benefit from Public Transit. Set your student up for success.
By riding the bus, students can practice time management, social skills, problem solving, and
personal responsibility. There are benefits for families, too! Reduce your stress of juggling
pickup and drop off multiple students, and trust that your student is in good hands with LTD’s
professional drivers. It’s free, easy, and safe for your student to ride the bus through the school
year, and throughout summer. Visit the school main office and ask about LTD’s free Student
Transit Pass to get started.
