GoPass Free Fare Program

GoPass Logo

Did you know that GTrans now participates in the GoPass Program? Using a registered TAP card, students from participating school districts can ride for free to and from school and on trips after school and on weekends. If a student is already part of the TAP K-12 Reduced Fare program, they will need to pick up a new Fareless K-12 card from their school to register in the portal. Students can ride on any participating transit system.
