They sent a notice that they are ready to be picked up in welcome canter. My kid got his last week.

Hmm, I signed up through th website but haven’t received a notice. Was the notice regarding just your card or did it say all card requests were filled and anyone who registered on deal’s website could pick theirs up?

“Good morning,

The Kids Ride Free Card you requested is available for pickup in our Welcome Center.

Answers to FAQs:

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns. Thank you.”

I missed the notice. Where do you register? On Deal's website or Kids Ride Free?

Deal’s website has a link where you can request a card.

We requested ours at the Adams office a week and a half ago and received it on Monday. Kiery indicated there was a backlog, but that they are coming in steadily to them.

We got a card (charter school) and didn't have to register anything. The new card works.

DC screwed this up royally. After telling us to get them over the summer at specific distribution locations, they abruptly changed their minds and put it on the schools. The schools said that this didn't work last year, as the KRF cards were never delivered on time or in enough quantities, even though they gave specific enrollment numbers. But it has happened again. My D's high school is given a few cards every few days and runs out quickly. Not their fault. Mayor Bowser, where are you and why is this happening?????

I am not sure if kids still ride free all the time of just during school hours. It seems this was of some debate at one point.

You can use it as soon as you get it. It seems to work at all times, but only within DC.

My kid is at Oyster-Adams and they don’t have the cards yet.

We asked at our school- had to sign up in the office. Due to a backlog took about 10 days.

In the meantime last year’s card still working as well.

The distribution deadline is Sept 30 when last year's cards were supposed to stop working.

Call the Kids Ride Free office (202) 673-1740 and ask if there's a solution.

For some reason the one my kid had from last year stopped working over the summer. My kid is at Wilson this year and they keep running out. The kids have to listen for the morning announcement letting them know when the school has more. Then during lunch they are to pick them up but it's first come first served and every time the line is huge and they run out again. My kid has not had luck getting one yet. All they say is they've ordered more and dont know when they will arrive, but kids should listen for the announcement and try to be one of the firsts in line that day to get them.

This is getting old and in the meantime I'm shelling out the money for my kid to metro back and forth every day. Does anyone know if there is a way to get a card outside of ones school?
