Extended through December 31!

K-12 students (ages 5-18) can RIDE CARTA FOR FREE by signing up for the Read & Ride Program. Each student who signs up gets a Read & Ride pass good for free bus rides through December 31. Plus, passes for children ages 5-11 covers one adult guardian rider!

Here’s How:
  • Create an account or log in to your existing account at chattlibrary.beanstack.org

  • Come to any CPL branch to pick up your Read & Ride CARTA bus pass!

If your student already received a Read & Ride card during MPRL Summer Reading, you don’t need to do anything else. The card is now good through the end of the year!
This year we’re challenging adults to read along with our youth all year long!
