*TOPEKA, KAN. (May 13, 2019)* – *Since the summer of 2013, Topeka Metro has
offered bus transportation at no cost on all fixed routes to youth ages 18
and under. Topeka Metro is launching this popular promotion beginning May
15 through August 15.*

*"The Kids Ride Free! promotion is a great opportunity for the youth in our
community," said Topeka Metro Director of Marketing & Communications Keri
Renner. "Riding the bus provides safe, reliable transportation that parents
can feel good about. Kids can ride the bus to the pools, get to summer
school or work, or visit friends or family."  In fiscal year 2018, Topeka
Metro provided 41,100 rides to Topeka kids. *

*Renner said that when youth ride the bus it familiarizes them with public
transit and helps them to become a confident navigator of their own
transportation. "Topeka has many youth activities and places to go in
Topeka, we want them to have the chance to experience their city while
saving money, too.”*

*No IDs are necessary when boarding for those 18 and under during the
promotion. Maps and time points for routes are posted on Topeka Metro's
website

and in all of the Topeka Metro shelters.  For questions or help with trip
planning, call Topeka Metro Customer Service at 785-783-7000.*
