Free Transit Passes for Students - Unlimited Rides on Bus, Trolley, Coaster & Sprinter
The Youth Opportunity Pass (YOP), which allows all riders 18 and under to ride all San Diego County transit systems (bus, trolley, Coaster, Sprinter), including North County Transit District and MTS services for FREE, has been extended through June 2024.
To be eligible for the Youth Opportunity Pass, riders 18 and under must have a Youth PRONTO app account, or a Youth PRONTO card, and travel with proof of eligibility. Riders who do not have a Youth PRONTO pass may either download one on a smartphone or pick up a free card from the MTS Transit Store, NCTD Customer Service Centers or select community organizations. For more information, visit NCTD's Youth Opportunity Pass webpage or the SANDAG website.

All youth with a YOP account must have their eligibility verified. For a limited time only, while supplies last, receive a FREE gift when you verify your YOP account at any NCTD Customer Service Center. Not sure if your PRONTO YOP eligibility has been verified?
