District of Kitimat to offer free fares for students

KITIMAT – The District of Kitimat is announcing the implementation of free fares for k-12 students in the Kitimat Transit System as part of a one-year pilot project.

Decisions regarding fares are the responsibility of our local government partners.

This pilot project will allow students attending school in Kitimat to board buses in the Kitimat Transit System for free. Students in high school (ages 15-18) will be required to show their student ID’s in order to participate in the pilot program.

When students receive their new student IDs in the fall, stickers will be provided and required on all student IDs in order to board the bus for free. Students, 14 and under, will not be required to show a student ID. Students who do not currently possess a student ID, or are unable to obtain one, can apply for a monthly pass.

Monthly passes can be obtained at the District of Kitimat Municipal Hall. Questions about the pilot program should be directed to the District of Kitimat.
