OCCK Transportation is extending its successful CityGo program for Salina area youth.
The agency announced the addition of a winter pass for the Get On & Go program for youth ages 7 to 18. A winter youth bus pass is $10 and will be good for unlimited rides on Salina CityGo from Dec. 1 to Feb. 28.
Youth must show the drivers their Get On & Go pass when they board the buses. Face masks and social distancing policies will be followed as needed.
“We are so excited to expand the Get On & Go program to winter,” said Trell Grinter, transportation director for OCCK, Inc. “The whole program has continued to grow in popularity. We are helping kids navigate around Salina, participate in activities and community events, while using public transit, which means learning important life skills while gaining freedom and independence.”
The passes will be available for purchase online on Wednesday at salinacitygo.com and Buy A Pass, with options for pick up. They will also be available at OCCK Transportation, 340 N. Santa Fe Avenue, and at the OCCK Corporate Office, 1710 W. Schilling Road, starting Wednesday.
As all OCCK Transportation Services have a digital fare option, youth passes also will be available digitally in the Token Transit app.
