Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins announced the expansion of the Bee-Line Bus System’s Student OMNY program, providing eligible students with more flexibility to travel throughout the County while making public transportation more accessible for families.
The enhanced program now provides eligible students with four rides per day, seven days a week and extends the benefit throughout the entire year, including the summer months. The improvements represent the first expansion of the County’s student transit program since 2015 and better reflect how students travel today for school, jobs, internships, extracurricular activities and other educational opportunities. Student OMNY cards continue to be distributed through participating school districts that opt into the program, and districts can further reduce the cost for students if they choose.
Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said: “Students today are balancing more responsibilities than ever before and reliable transportation plays a critical role in helping them succeed. Whether they’re traveling to school, a summer job, an internship, athletic practice or a community program, this expanded Student OMNY benefit gives them greater freedom to get where they need to go while easing transportation costs for families. It’s an investment in the success of our young people.”
