As summer approaches, SamTrans is rolling out its popular Summer Youth Pass (SYP), a $40 transit pass that gives youth ages 18 and younger unlimited rides from June 1 through Aug. 31.
The pass offers more than 50% savings compared with purchasing three monthly youth passes and is designed to help families keep kids moving, active and connected throughout the summer.
With summer programs and events throughout the region ramping up, the SYP provides a timely transportation solution for families who do not qualify for year-round free youth fares but are still seeking affordable, reliable travel options.
“Summer is a time for young people to explore, learn and stay connected to their communities,” said SamTrans General Manager/CEO April Chan. “The Summer Youth Pass removes transportation barriers by giving families an affordable, flexible option that helps kids travel safely and independently while making the most of everything San Mateo County has to offer.”
SamTrans is highlighting how the pass connects youth to local libraries, parks, museums, shopping centers and other popular destinations throughout San Mateo County.
Summer Youth Pass details:
- Price: $40
- Unlimited SamTrans rides for youth ages 18 and younger from June 1 through Aug. 31
- Available through the SamTrans Mobile app, at SamTrans.com/SYP or in person at 166 N. Rollins Road, Millbrae, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday
- Not available on Clipper cards
This pass is part of a broader effort to provide safe, affordable transportation access for youth in San Mateo County. For more information or to purchase a pass, visit SamTrans.com/SYP.
