Grand Valley Transit and Mesa County Workforce Center are teaming up to offer free bus fare to all District 51 middle and high school students on GVT Fixed Route. The program is valid from September 1, 2021, through August 31, 2022.
Parents must first complete the student bus pass form, which is available online at gvt.mesacounty.us in both English and Spanish. Students can pick up a Free Ride Sticker and attach it to their student ID, and then they can board GVT Fixed Route free. Free Ride stickers are available at all area middle and high schools, the D51 admin building, Mesa County Public Libraries, and the Grand Junction Parks and Recreation Office.
Youth younger than middle school (ages 11 and under) can ride GVT Fixed Route free with a paying adult through May 31, 2022.
