K-12 Student Discounts

Student Fares and Student Discount Passes apply to grades K-12. High school students must show proof of student status to obtain the discount rate when paying cash fares. 10 Ride Student Passes and 31 Day Student passes are available for purchase.  Students must show School ID when purchasing passes in person.  If purchases are made on-line, a copy of the Student ID must be attached to the order the first time a student pass is purchased.  If students are using the RRTA Go Mobile app, the student must visit RRTA Offices the first time to be designated as a student in their account.  Once they are designated as a student, they will be able to purchase Student Passes.
