Councilor Kolson wants to see the youth of Airdrie use the transit system more.

 At last nights City Council meeting Councilor Kolson asked city council to consider giving the youth of Airdrie a massively discounted price for transit passes. 

Kolson would like to see the passes lowered to around twenty-five dollars for youth.  Student, Senior and Youth passes are currently around forty-five dollars. 

Kolson hopes by lowering the price of the pass more youth will use the transit system, encouraging them to further explore the city and its activities. 

In 2017, 320 youth purchased transit passes. 

Kolson also thinks the discounted passes will help our growing youth population.
