Graduation Ceremony

Welcome Class of 2027!

ORCA Cards

Graduating students: you may ride transit for free until you’re 19! Did you know young people ride public transit for free until you turn 19 years old.  After you turn 19, you can continue using your ORCA card but must load money on it – that can be done online at myORCA.com, at a ticket vending machine, or at Metro’s Pass Sales Office. You might be eligible for a transit benefit or discount: More than 2,000 employers and several colleges in King County offer transit benefits, so ask your employer or college. Seattle Promise Scholars get a free ORCA card: Seattle Promise Scholar Transit Pass. See if you’re eligible for a discount fare: LIFT – myORCA.
