Transit is for everyone
Youth ride free
Transit across our region is fare-free for people age 18 and under thanks to Move Ahead Washington, a statewide transportation funding package. When you get and use a free Youth ORCA Card with every ride, it helps transit agencies better understand how young people are using current service and make future improvements with passengers like you in mind.
Beyond transit
Making our region more livable
Whether you ride transit or not, we all benefit from fewer cars on our roadways, a cleaner and greener environment, more affordable housing, and equitable access to opportunities and services across our region. In each triannual Progress Report update, we’ll bring you a new perspective on what this work means for you.
