Transportation and Parking

Whether you walk, bike, drive, or take the metro bus for free, we want you to have a smooth and safe commute to school. Juniors and seniors may apply for a Student Parking Permit by following the application process linked below. All students can take advantage of free metro bus rides with an ORCA card or student ID.

Metro Transit: Orca Card

All youth will be able to ride transit for free by doing one of the following:

  • Tapping your ORCA card when you board and exit
  • Showing your current high school or middle school student ID card
  • If you don’t have either, you can still ride for free

Public transit is free for riders 18 and younger thanks to Move Ahead Washington, a statewide transportation funding package.

To ensure ORCA cards stay active for next school year, register your card through King County Metro: https://info.myorca.com/youth-ride-free/


When Will ORCA Cards Be Available?

ORCA cards will be available for students at each high school’s or choice school’s Taking Care of Business / Orientation Day, as well as during the school year.


Any questions regarding ORCA cards can be emailed to: bsdmetrocard@bsd405.org

Metro Transit

ORCA cards will be available for students at each high school’s or choice school’s Taking Care of Business / Orientation Day.

Every student who was issued an ORCA card from the 2021-22 school year needs to stop by the ORCA table with their ORCA card for an instructions label on how to register their ORCA card.

The ORCA Cards are active from the first day of school and will be good through the last day of school.

BSD Student ORCA/METRO cards are deactivated after the last day of school each year and new ORCA cards are issued to eligible students at Taking Care of Business days or during school office hours after school resumes in September.
