Field Trip Program

Metro's field trip program provides inexpensive travel for schools and youth programs such as clubs, scouts, and daycampers. If a Metro bus goes by your school during off-peak hours, you can ride with Metro to museums, exhibits, theaters and a variety of other events and attractions.

  • One class (thirty students or less) may travel per bus.
  • Travel during off-peak hours (all day on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. or after 6 p.m.)
  • Call Metro's Customer Service at 206-553-3000 to obtain information for routes, bus stops and times.
  • Mail the field trip request form and payment three weeks prior to your trip -- only $1.25 per person, round-trip!!
  • For ideas on where to go by bus, visit Places to go on Metro Transit.
