GRANITE CITY — Starting June 1, Madison County students 18 and younger can ride Madison County Transit (MCT) buses for free until Labor Day using the 2021 MCT Summer Youth Pass.
The MCT Summer Youth Pass program — which offers free rides for Madison County students in Kindergarten through the 12th grade during the summer months — has been offered since 2008. This year, about 8,500 passes have been distributed to intermediate and high schools throughout the Madison County. Passes are also available from MCT by request.
“For 12 years now, the MCT Summer Youth Pass has provided critical transportation for Madison County students during the summer months,” said MCT Managing Director SJ Morrison. “With more activities re-opening throughout Madison County, using the Youth Pass to ride MCT offers a free and safe way for students to access summer jobs, classes, extra-curricular activities, recreation areas, and events.”

PONTOON BEACH — Madison County Transit has launched the MCT Trails Commemorative Tree & Bench Program.
The new program provides way for residents and trail users to purchase a tree or bench to be placed along an MCT trail to honor a loved one, or recognize an organization, civic group or business.
The MCT trail system includes nine major trails spanning 137 miles, ranging from trails through old-growth forest and unsurpassed views of the Mississippi River, to urban trails connecting parks to outside areas.
“For years we’ve heard from trail users who want to make a contribution to the MCT Trails while commemorating a loved one or an organization,” said MCT Managing Director SJ Morrison. “This program allows residents to become more engaged with the MCT Trails, while providing funds for trail amenities such as benches and trees, which have also been requested.”
