Updates about SacRT and FREE RIDES for students!

How to Ride:
- Simply show a student ID and a RydeFreeRT card (Elementary Students will only need to show a RydeFreeRT card).

How SacRT is Keeping Riders Safe:
- SacRT has implemented and/or increased best practices to create a safer transit environment:
- Blocking off certain seats in buses and light rail trains to provide physical distancing
- Installed protective plexi-glass barriers on each bus by the driver's seat to reduce risk when paying fare
- Requiring all employees and riders to wear a face covering or mask when riding buses and light rail trains
- Fogging and disinfecting buses, light rail trains, facilities, and touch points
RydeFreeRT is available any day, any time, during regular SacRT service hours.

If you are satisfied with your student’s assigned school placement, you do not need to do anything. Your student will automatically be placed at your resident school.
If you do not want your student to attend the assigned school listed, you must participate in the Open Enrollment Lottery to request another placement.
Open Enrollment takes place between December 6, 2021, and January 21, 2022. Participation in Open Enrollment does not guarantee that your student will be placed at the requested school. Applications for Open Enrollment will be available at www.sanjuan.edu/openenrollment and San Juan Central starting on December 6, 2021. If your student has an IEP (Individualized Education Plan), please know that the school assignment may change as not all programs are offered at every school.
