Olympic College bus passes: pickup locations expand September 14
More campus desks are listed for pass pickup beginning September 14. Students should register ahead and bring their Student ID.
Olympic College students planning for fall have another campus errand to put on their list. The college’s current bus-pass page lists additional pickup locations beginning September 14, ahead of the September 21 start of fall-quarter classes. Advance registration is encouraged, and students need their Student ID when collecting a pass.
The college’s bus-pass program page is the place to confirm eligibility and find the registration form. Currently enrolled students are eligible, except students enrolled only in Continuing Education. The page says eligibility is checked quarterly and the pass remains active through June 30, 2027 while the student is enrolled.
Choose a pickup desk before traveling
Beginning September 14, listed options include Haselwood Library in Bremerton, the Poulsbo campus front desk and the Shelton campus front desk, along with several student-service offices. Check the college’s full list for the building and room that suit your trip. A location appearing on the list does not establish that every desk keeps the same hours; confirm office availability before making a special journey.
Know which part of the journey is covered
The pass covers Kitsap Transit buses and local foot ferries, including the Port Orchard and Annapolis routes. It does not cover the fast ferries or other ferries to Seattle. If a commute combines several operators or a Seattle crossing, check that separate fare before treating the whole trip as covered.
Try the route on paper first
- Identify the stop near home and the stop serving the campus you attend.
- Compare arrival time with the start of class, leaving room for walking between the stop and classroom.
- Look at the return trip as well as the morning departure.
- Keep the current route schedule and any service alerts handy.
The college’s pilot-program announcement describes the pass as part of a 2026–27 transportation initiative. For an individual eligibility or pickup question, use the contact route on the current program page. Registering and checking the trip now can turn the first journey into a planned part of the school day.
