The WMTA (Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority) approved a legislation that eliminates Metrobus fare charges for students participating in the District Department of Transportation’s (DDOT) School Transit Subsidy Program (STSP) on official school days.
The “Ride Free on Bus” program allows District School's students to use Metrobus only without charge Monday through Friday, from 5:30 am to 9 am and 2 pm to 8 pm, during the regular 2015-2016 school year.
In order for your child to benefit from this program, you will need to completely fill out the Student Travel Card Application, have it signed by the school principal, and send it directly to their headquarters via fax at (202) 673-1734 to the attention of Ms. Angelica Johnson. Once the application is processed, your child's bus card will be delivered directly to Sacred Heart within 10 business days where it will be available for pick up.
