WestCAT Summer Youth Bus Pass Pre-Sale Begins May 15, 2018
WestCAT and Tri-Delta Transit's popular discounted Summer Youth Pass will be available again this summer.
Pinole, CA- WestCAT and Tri-Delta Transit’s popular discounted Summer Youth Pass will be available again this summer. The pass is available for sale by both agencies beginning on May 15, 2018. As in previous years, the specially priced pass is available to youth 17 years old and under and will be sold for $50.00 each. They are good for 3 months of unlimited rides (June 1-August 31, 2018). That is a huge savings, especially when you consider that each one-way ride on WestCAT is $1.75, and the regular WestCAT 31-day bus pass is $40.00.
The passes themselves are in the form of a fun and colorful waterproof wristband, eliminating the need for transfers, or hassling with cash or paper passes. It is convenient and cost effective. “Just place it on your wrist, flash it at the bus driver upon boarding, and you are on your way!” said Manager of Marketing Yvonne Morrow.
Passes can be used on all WestCAT local fixed route and express buses (includes 30Z Martinez Link) and are available for purchase in person at the WestCAT Administration office, located at 601 Walter Ave., Pinole, CA 94564. Sales office days and hours of operation are Monday-Friday from 7:30 AM – 6:00 PM. These passes are not valid for transbay travel on the LYNX or Dial-A-Ride.

Tri Delta Transit coordinates the production of the wristbands and some of the marketing materials for both agencies.
