The Youth Summer Pass can be used for 30 consecutive days beginning June 1
ORANGE – The Orange County Transportation Authority is encouraging local teens to get out into the sunshine this summer and explore Orange County’s many attractions using the OCTA Youth Summer Pass, which goes on sale beginning Friday.
For the past 17 years, OCTA has provided a summer bus pass for those 18 and younger to encourage young riders to discover how affordable and convenient it is to take public transit.
This year, the Youth Summer Pass is being offered to youth ages 6-18 as a 30-day pass. A pass costs $20 and is valid for unlimited rides for 30 consecutive days between June 1 and Aug. 31.
That’s a 50 percent savings over the typical cost for a 30-day youth pass. The Youth Summer Pass can be used on any OC Bus fixed route, whether it’s to get to the beach, a local shopping mall or to an amusement park.
In addition to unlimited service on OCTA buses, Youth Summer Pass holders will also enjoy several discounts at local attractions, including Discovery Cube, Adventure City, Howie’s Game Shack, the Rinks ice skating, A La Minute ice scream shops and the Santa Ana Zoo.
The Youth Summer Pass is on sale now through Aug. 15 via the OC Bus mobile app, online and at Orange County Ralphs, Vons and Northgate Gonzalez Market locations or the OCTA Store.
As part of this year’s promotion, OCTA is also offering prizes as part of a Summer Youth Pass photo contest. Simply hop on an OC Bus and take a selfie with your pass and post it using #OCSummerBus.
Prizes for selected winners include tickets to Knott’s Berry Farm and additional OC Bus passes to be used at a later date.
