The Summer Passport will go on sale May 22 and will provide unlimited travel options for three months for the low price of $55. In addition, the agency’s added Fifth Third Bank to its list of locations where the passes can be purchased.

The Summer Passport allows for carefree travel for students on any fixed route and at any time between June 1 and August 31. The pass would also cover the first few weeks of school in August for most districts, which also represents a savings.
