Exciting news for local students! Starting July 1, 2025, Victor Valley Transit is launching a fare-free transit program in partnership with Barstow Community College. Students simply present their current and valid student ID (Summer 2025 or Fall 2025) to ride at no cost on VVTA’s Fixed Routes, County Routes, and Route 15, providing connections to Victor Valley College, Cal State University San Bernardino, and beyond.
This initiative makes Barstow Community College the latest institution joining Victor Valley College (VVC) and Cal State University San Bernardino (CSUSB) to participate in VVTA’s fare-free transit program. With this expansion, students across the Victor Valley region now enjoy a more accessible, affordable, and sustainable path to higher education.
“We’re proud to collaborate with Barstow Community College to remove financial barriers and support student success,” said VVTA officials. “This fare-free program enhances access to education and reinforces our commitment to community mobility.”
Whether commuting to classes, labs, campus events, or a destination off campus, Barstow Community College students can now ride VVTA buses on select routes simply by showing their Student ID. The move underscores a shared mission: investing in education through transportation equity.
