‘Kids Ride Free’ Program

KIDS RIDE FREE UPDATE:

Beginning October 1, 2018, students will no longer be able to use their DC One Cards to access free public transportation to and from school. They must obtain a Kids Ride Free SmarTrip Card. To receive your child’s SmarTrip card early, we strongly encourage you attend one of the pick-up events listed below. We will not be able to distribute the SmarTrip cards at school until after Labor Day. Learn more about the changes to the Kids Ride Free program here. Until the end of September, students will be able to continue using their DC One Card for Metro Bus, Metro Rail, & Circulator travel to and from school.
