For adolescent students in grades 7 - 12 (or students who have an older sibling in those grades with whom they will ride Metro Transit) AND who live more than 2 miles from Great River School, the school funds Metro Transit cards to provide transportation to and from school. Any student who wishes to obtain a Go-To 10-Ride Card must fill out a new application EACH YEAR.
The application is LINKED HERE and paper copies can also be found by the front desk. Completed applications should be turned in to the front desk or emailed to office@greatriverschool.org.
A Go-To 10 Ride Card Card works like a Go-To Card. Touch the card to a reader on a bus or at a light-rail station and it automatically deducts one ride. Transfers are embedded on the card. Replacement 10-Ride Cards may be returned to the front office when they have zero or 1 remaining ride on the card to receive a replacement. Students will not receive a replacement of a 10-Ride Card without returning a used card. In the case of a lost 10-Ride Card, a student may purchase a new card for $15. Subsequent cards will continue to be at no cost as long as the student returns a used card. Unlimited Ride Cards will be considered for distribution in late October after established patterns of high frequency become established. Students who qualify will be notified by email.
Students who have completed their applications can pick up their cards at the front desk between 8:30-9:00am, during passing times or during lunch on school days.
