Contact free ways to obtain a High School Transit Pass for 2020-21
Kingston Transit has adjusted the way high school students obtain their free High School Student Transit Pass for the 2020-21 school year, in an effort to limit contact during COVID-19.
Students, parents and guardians are encouraged to review the changes online at KingstonTransit.ca/StudentPass.
Details were shared in a release dated Monday, Aug 31, 2020:
Grade 9 Students
Grade 9 students will be provided information about obtaining a transit pass directly from their schools. Pass distribution is being arranged with each school. Students will not be able to obtain a pass at Kingston Transit sales outlets.
Grade 10 to 12 Students
