Riding the Bus
All Deering High students get a bus pass that is free for them to use on local Portland Metro buses. You don't need to buy tickets!
This year, the bus pass is an app on your phone that you tap when you get on the bus. This means you don't have to worry about losing it anymore!
Starting October 1st, Metro is requiring all riders to use some form of contactless payment (like the app!).
If you can't turn in your paperwork to Guidance or your advisor, you can email a copy of it to simonk@portlandschools.org

After downloading the app, you'll need to create an account. Select "I don't have a card."
Your username should be your student ID. Your email should be your school email.
Once you log in, select "Dirigo" as your transit agency, then let us know you've created an account. Your bus pass will show up in the "home screen" soon!
I don't have a phone or I lost my phone!
If you don't have a phone, come to the Guidance Office and you will get a bus pass card. Just like a bus pass on your phone, the card is attached to your student ID.
If you had a pass on your phone, but you lost your phone, let the Guidance office know. We can get you a card.
If you had a card but want to switch to the app on your phone, you can switch if you let the Guidance office know.
