RTC RIDE ON For CCSD Students
Criteria for NOT being able to take the CCSD (Yellow) Bus
In general, students are not eligible for standard yellow bus transportation if:
-
They are selected for the “RideOn” Program: High school students who would normally qualify for a yellow bus (live >2 miles away) may be switched to the RTC public bus system if their school is part of the RideOn partnership.
2. Why do some students receive an RTC pass?
The RideOn program is a partnership between CCSD and the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC). Selected high school students receive a free monthly RTC pass instead of a yellow bus ride for a few key reasons:
-
Driver Shortage: The primary driver is a shortage of school bus drivers. Moving high schoolers to public transit frees up yellow bus drivers for elementary, middle, and special education routes.
-
Flexibility for Students: Unlike a yellow bus that only goes to and from school at fixed times, the RTC pass allows students to use the bus system 24/7 for free. This helps them get to after-school jobs, extracurricular activities, or other events on weekends.
-
Efficiency: It utilizes existing public bus routes that already run near the students’ homes and schools, avoiding duplicate trips.
