RTC offers free bus rides for high school students

Updated August 24, 2022 - 5:22 pm

Las Vegas high school students are now being offered free transportation to school through a partnership with between the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada and the Clark County School District.

As part of the “RTC Ride-On Program,” select high school students can receive RTC transit to and from school at no charge.

Students are expected to meet the eligibility requirements in order to take part in the free transportation program, including living more than two miles from their zoned school.

To verify their eligibility and enroll in the program, the RTC says students must sign up on its website or in their school’s main office.

Upon verification of eligibility, students will be issued an electronic semester bus pass via email for alternative busing services through the RTC, the group says.
