[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So one thing to understand: Every time time a KRF card is swiped, [b]DCPS[/b] pays Metro for that ride. I don't know what the agreement is between DCPS and Metro, but this is not the same thing as Metro providing free rides. Our kids do use KRF for nonschool rides, but 90 percent of the time they are actually swiping to go to/from school. [/quote] Not DCPS, but the DC government. This is one of their "transit subsidies" that is paid for by the DC gov. The KRF card is available even to homeschoolers, so I think it's a pretty broad program. There are other transit subsidies, like for foster children and kids doing the summer youth employment program. Read about it here: https://code.dccouncil.gov/us/dc/council/laws/23-16#%C2%A76044 As someone whose kid uses the metro to get to and from school every day, this card is saving us $1000 a year. Thanks Bowser![/quote]
