From now to Labor Day, students 18 and younger can have unlimited travel on Clallam and Jefferson Transit public buses by purchasing summer youth passes for $20.
During the school year, student bus passes cost $12 per month. Regular youth base fare passes cost $18 per month. Youth premium fare passes cost $36 per month.
The summer pass is for three months. Clallam and Jefferson transit systems honor each other’s passes. They also can be used on Mason and Grays Harbor public transit systems.
This is the last year of a three-year cooperative agreement among the public transit systems to coordinate travel on the Olympic Peninsula for young people.
The Summer Youth Pass is designed to encourage more youth ridership on system buses and to respond to requests for a discounted summer pass for young people.
The pass was developed to take some of the pressure off busy parents who otherwise would shuttle their young people to summer activities.
Clallam passes can be purchased at the Clallam Transit System office at 830 W. Lauridsen Blvd., Port Angeles, or at pass outlets.
Pass outlets in Port Angeles are at Albertsons, 114 E. Lauridsen Blvd.; Mt. Pleasant IGS, 3010 E. U.S. Highway 101; Swain’s General Store, 602 E. First St.; and Bay Variety, 135 W. First St.
