Getting around the Morongo Basin has never been easier for local students. From July 2025 through June 2026, Basin Transit offers free rides for all K-12 students as part of the Students Ride Free program.
No bus pass is required—students simply show a school or government-issued ID to hop on board. Children 5 and under continue to ride for free without an ID. This program allows students to travel safely to school, after-school activities, jobs, or hang out with friends, all without the cost of a fare.
The Low Carbon Transit Operations Program funds the Students Ride Free initiative, which supports projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve mobility, especially in disadvantaged communities.
