Abstract:

This study aimed to analyze LA Metro's GoPass program, examining its usage patterns, participant characteristics, role in ridership recovery, and impact on students’ attendance. It also investigated free and discounted student transit pass programs across California and the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. GoPass constituted 12.3% of LA Metro's 2022 bus tap boardings, a significant portion amid a 33.4% overall ridership decrease compared to 2019. Spatial regression showed higher GoPass usage in areas with more young males and Asian residents, denser transit stops, mixed land use, and better transit access to participating schools.
