What is SchoolPool?
SchoolPool is an established school access program which offers free, introductory transit tickets for 6-12 grade students to encourage the use of buses to commute to and from school. The program application period runs from August – September each year. The SchoolPool Program reduces traffic congestion and air pollution in the community by reducing the number of trips made by parents driving their students to school.
