The Metro Board has approved making the GoPass Fareless Pilot Program permanent!  The program will continue providing unlimited fare free rides to K-12 and Community College students at participating schools and districts in L.A. County. As of April 2024, over 380,000 students are registered, over 2 million GoPass TAP cards have been distributed and 36 million boardings reported since the program’s launch in 2021!
