Bus Information
Summer 2025 Bus Information
MMSD and Metro are partnering again to help students in grades 6 through 12, including recent high school graduates, access the Metro Bus for free during the summer.
This year, students who already have a metro bus pass, will be able to continue to use this same pass during the summer, with no extra steps needed.
New for 2025, if a student doesn't already have an existing pass, the Summer Youth Pass will be available virtually through the Metro Transit Fast Fare mobile app, making it easier than ever for students to ride with just a scan from their phone. To get started, students can email mymetrobus@cityofmadison.com from their school email address (ending in @madison.k12.wi.us) with the subject line: Summer Youth Pass.

2024-2025 School Year Bus Information
The District does not generally provide transportation to high school students. Rather, the District and City of Madison work cooperatively to ensure that Madison Metro Transit routes are available to students as a primary means of transportation. District-provided Madison Metro bus passes are available for students who:
-
Reside within the boundaries of the school attendance area
- Reside more than one and one-half (1.5) miles from their attendance area school.
- Have demonstrable financial need, including qualifying for the Free & Reduced Meal Program.
Students who qualify for a district funded bus pass can fill out this google form using their district google account to request one and then pick it up in their Neighborhood Office before school, during lunch, or after school during the first weeks of school.
Students can ride the bus for free during the first weeks of school until they receive their bus pass.
