Free Transit for Pinole Youth Pilot Program

($30,000, annually)

This program proposes a pilot to provide free public transit access for students, foster youth, and unhoused youth in Pinole, enabling them to travel within the region via WestCAT buses at no cost. The goal is to reduce barriers to education, employment, and essential services for young residents while promoting sustainable transportation. Funding would support an ongoing annual cost of $30,000, which covers transit fares for eligible participants. Community input would help shape the program, including determining eligibility criteria, outreach strategies, and evaluation measures to assess its impact. 

Please note that this is NOT a planned project. It is a potential Measure I project for the purpose of budget planning. Learn more.
