METRO Rides Free For Students
Santa Cruz METRO is now offering free rides to all K-12 students. The Youth Cruz Free program eliminates fares in order to increase access and encourage ridership for youth.
This one-year pilot program will enable youth to ride on all METRO routes (excluding Highway 17 Express service) anywhere, anytime! To ride for free, students in grades 8 and under may be asked to confirm their grade or show a school ID if available. High school students can ride for free by showing their school ID. No registration necessary.
STOPit- online reporting tool designed to deter and mitigate bullying
STOPit is an online reporting tool designed to deter and mitigate bullying, cyber abuse, and other inappropriate behaviors. STOPit is an anonymous, comfortable way for students to share information so that they can either provide or get help as quickly and as efficiently as possible.
How Does STOPit Work?
- Submit a tip via the website (bookmarked on all school devices), 24/7 phone hotline, or mobile app.
- Incident Response Center monitors and reviews your submission.
- School Administrators receive and act on tip submission.
What Can Students Report?
- Bullying
- Cyberbullying
- Harassment
- Violence, threats, or weapons possession
- Alcohol or drug-related issues
- Discrimination
Students have the power to help put an end to harmful and inappropriate behavior they see online through social media and other means. They can use STOPit to reach out for help if they or a peer are facing a personal crisis or experiencing bullying, abuse, or are otherwise in need of assistance. Our goal with STOPit is to create a safer, kinder, school community both online and off.
