2024 R53 – Free Transit for Students
- Year: 2024
- AVICC Number: R53

Whereas the BC Government’s fare-free transit program for youth aged 12 and under grade 6 saves families money while offering youth low-carbon transportation that helps the province and municipalities reach carbon neutrality targets;
And whereas expanding eligibility to those in grade 12 and under would promote equitable access to transit despite economic disparity amongst youth and families in BC:
Therefore be it resolved that UBCM request the Province to expand the fare-free transit program for youth in grade 12 and under and provide permanent sustainable funding to do so.
