30-DAY STUDENT PASS

The student pass is available to all students, providing unlimited rides on Routes 1–3 for 30 days at a discounted rate of $160. Extension of the pass to Route 4 will be considered in 2026—please check back for updates.

The pass is exclusively available for purchase through the Blaise Transit app and is valid for 30 days from the date of purchase. Download the free Blaise Transit app from the Apple Store or Google Play.​​​​​  Click here for more information on the County Connect app.

The pass is non-refundable and cannot be cancelled once purchased. A new pass can only be purchased after the current one expires.

To use this pass, students must book their rides through the app and select the pass as the payment method when booking a trip. There is no requirement for students to physically print or display the pass, nor do they need to show their booked trip upon boarding the bus. However, students will need to present their valid student ID when getting on the bus. The bus driver reserves the right to deny boarding if the student ID is not presented.

***Please note that the pass will only appear as a payment option on the app if you have set up a "student" profile within the Blaise Transit app.

Students can purchase the discounted pass through the app in one of two ways:
- Select "Purchase a pass" as your payment method when booking a trip.
- Add the pass as a payment option in the "Wallet" section."
