High School Students

High School students are more independent than younger students, but face their own unique mobility challenges.

High school students cannot drive until they are 15, and are restricted in who they can drive with. This can create problems when trying to set up carpools, as only the oldest students can take passengers. Please see the California Driver Handbook for more information on driving requirements for young adults.

High school students commonly choose the freedom offered by bicycle transportation, and there are a number of programs in the county that support these students, such as Ecology Action’s Bike Smart program and programs offered by the Community Traffic Safety Coalition.

Students (through age 17) who rely on the bus to get around can buy a discounted monthly bus pass for $35 ($15 off the adult price). This pass is good for unlimited bus rides within Santa Cruz County on Santa Cruz Metro.
