The cTran Youth Opportunity Pass is available to all middle school and high school students who are enrolled in Vancouver, Evergreen, Battle Ground, Camas and Washougal school districts, the Washington State School for the Blind, the Washington School for the Deaf and the Next Success program.

Valued at over $500, the Youth Opportunity Pass is absolutely free to any middle or high school student in VPS; no restrictions apply! There’s even a travel training center to help students learn how to ride with a real person to connect with to help you understand the ins-and-outs of riding the bus! The pass offers all participating students unlimited access to C-TRAN Local service through the summer of 2023.  The Youth Opportunity Pass (YOP) does not offer access to any Regional or Express service that crosses into Portland, or paratransit service. It is not valid on TriMet or the Portland Streetcar.

  1. Download the cTran consent form and Community Center permission slip or pick one up from your Family Community Resource Center contact
  2. Have guardian and student sign the form
  3. Bring your signed permission form to the FCRC contact at your school.  Ask a counselor if you don’t know who that is!
  4. Bring your VPS Student ID card and the signed consent form to your appointment and VPS will issue you the pass on the spot!  It’s so easy.
