2008 Student Summer Bus Passes
The City of Santa Clarita’s Transit division is teaming up this summer with local businesses to offer students a Summer Bus Passport for the month of July. The Passport is a new student bus pass with benefits, and was created to allow Santa Clarita Valley students a summer experience using public transportation.
The Summer Bus Passport is a low-cost, month-long bus pass, specifically designed for Santa Clarita youth. The Passport not only provides the opportunity for a summer transportation experience, but also comes with numerous discounts and special offers for the Passport holders at businesses located throughout the community.
Student can purchase their bus pass at City hall for $25 by showing their school ID. In addition they will get discounts at some local businesses when showing their pass.

I wish we had a program like this here in the Greater Phoenix area, in particular: Paradise Valley. Our Metro area is so spread out that you can not ride your bike to get to most of the major attractions, so the kids need affordable transportation. Even more so here than in your community (Santa Clarita), which I know and love, because ours is sooooooo spread out.
That’s not even mentioning the price of gas lately and the lesson that comes along with students riding public transportation (IE being green, saving the environment, plus saving money on car payments, insurance and gas, etc.)
I hope that our ‘Valley of the Sun’ learns from your city’s initiative and leadership in moving our kids in the right direction for the future.
After all, our kids are our future.
