Participants can use this transit pass to travel to featured attractions and businesses which they check off on their Transit Quest Passport.

The Quest works to increase the City youth’s familiarity of the Peterborough Transit system as they begin to travel independently. By increasing comfort at this age, transit can become a mode of transportation that is both normal and accessible. Navigating their local transit service helps students build a life skill, one that they will use as they get part-time jobs, go off to school and move or travel to other cities.
