• Children ages 5-14 qualify for Reduced Fare. For a Local Day Pass, that’s $3.
• To get a Reduced fare, high school students must have a valid student ID from a school within the DART Service Area – or a valid, DART-issued student ID. If you don’t have one, visit org’ s high school student page for more info. High school students are eligible for Reduced fares seven days a week.
