LOS ANGELES — The Metro board of directors April 25 approved a motion authored by Los Angeles Mayor and Metro Board Chair Karen Bass to make the successful Student GoPass pilot program permanent. The motion also directs Metro staff to explore opportunities to provide unlimited free rides to income-eligible riders through Metro’s Low-Income-Fare-is-Easy or LIFE program.
The GoPass Pilot is phase one of Metro’s fareless system initiative, a strategic effort to build transit ridership and support communities with their transportation needs. GoPass participation is now over 350,000 registered students from 1,570 participating schools in 115 participating school districts (including public districts, charter networks, community colleges, vocational schools, and private schools). The co-authors of the motion are 2nd vice chair and Whittier Mayor Pro Tem Fernando Dutra, Director and Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts, director Jacquelyn Dupont-Walker, director and County Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell and director and County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis.
