About Citrus Connection

The Summer of Safety program was developed to offer students a means of transportation during the summer months while school is out of session. Students can utilize this service to get out and visit family and friends, engage in recreational activities, grab a bite to eat or even take on a part-time job.

Rider Eligibility & Information

Riders must be 12-18 years of age and have a valid Polk County School I.D. or present the Summer of Safety Pass to receive a FREE RIDE. This service is available from the last day of school until August 18.
