"The GoPass program started as a pilot in April 2021 and was extended in 2023, before becoming permanent this year. Students at 1,600 K-12 schools and community colleges across 125 school districts are eligible to participate. According to Metro’s count in June, the program has provided more than 40 million free trips."
