Kids and teens can ride Brampton Transit for free and get access to recreation drop-in programs this summer.
Back for another year, the city’s Explore Brampton Youth Passes will give Brampton youths between the ages of 12 and 16 free rides on Brampton Transit, and connect them with city-run recreation programs.
The program was first launched in 2023, and the city is making 2,500 Explore Brampton Youth Passes available again this year.
“The Explore Brampton Youth Pass supports the City’s commitment to building a Healthy and Safe City and a City of Opportunities, giving young residents the freedom to stay active, connect with their community and explore everything Brampton has to offer,” the city says in a release.
Pass holders will have free access to Brampton Transit services and Recreation drop-in programs including swimming, skating, and select sports from July 1 to Sept. 6.
Brampton residents born between Sept. 2, 2010 and September 1, 2014 are eligible to apply.
Priority will be given to vulnerable youth, through the ActiveAssist Program, the Region of Peel’s Affordable Transit Program, the Region of Peel’s Neighbourhood Information Tool, and referrals from youth-serving providers and outreach.
Youth accepted into the program will need to watch a brief orientation video and visit select Brampton Recreation centres to pick up their pass. Program participants will also be asked to complete a brief survey at the end of the program about their experience.
