PORT ANGELES — Clallam Transit is once again offering a summer youth pass for kids and young adults between the ages of 6 and 19.
The pass, which is good for all fixed-route travel from Memorial Day to Labor Day, costs $20.
Regular youth passes are $18 per month.
The summer pass program, now in its 15th year, is designed to encourage youth ridership and to respond to requests for a discounted summer pass for young people, Clallam Transit officials said.
Public transit agencies in Clallam, Jefferson, Mason and Grays Harbor counties honor each other’s summer youth pass, making it possible for a child to circle the entire Olympic Peninsula in one day.
“There isn’t a better transportation deal anywhere,” Clallam Transit General manager Wendy Clark-Getzin said in a news release.
Summer activities
“The pass can be used to attend summer activities or to create a new public transit experience,” she said.
“The pass was developed to take some of the pressure off busy parents who would otherwise shuttle their young people to summer activities.
“The summer youth pass really is a great savings for families.”
Youth passes can be purchased through outlets in Port Angeles, Sequim and Forks and the Clallam Transit System office, 830 W. Lauridsen Blvd., Port Angeles.
Passes are also available through the mail.
For more information or to order a pass, phone Clallam Transit at 360-452-1315.
