If you’re looking for a great way to travel around the Fox Valley with a class or organized group of kids, Valley Transit has your answer! Kids On The Go can travel at a reduced rate of just $0.50 when riding in supervised groups of 6 to 28 riders (including adult chaperones).

Although Valley Transit cannot offer charter service, we encourage you to give the bus a try for local trips that are accessible from our bus routes. If your class, daycare, Cub Scout troop, or other organized group of kids is planning a field trip, Kids on the go may give you the transportation you need.

Fares and Fare Payment

18 & Under

$.50

Adult Chaperones

$1.50 one-way or 
10-Ride Ticket punch.

(At least one adult fare must be paid to receive the reduced fare of $.50 per child).

Because it is important for the bus to stay on schedule, we ask that the fares be collected prior to boarding and placed in the farebox by one of the adult chaperones on the trip.

Each time you board, tell your driver how many riders you have and place the money in the farebox. Round trips should be paid in two parts – once at the start of the initial trip and again at the start of the return trip. 

Fares may be paid in cash or by check. (Make checks payable to: City of Appleton) 

Transfers 

If the group will be transferring to another bus to complete a one-way trip, please ask for a transfer when boarding the first bus. The driver will give one transfer for the group, noting the group size on the transfer. This transfer can be used to board your connecting bus for free.

Making your reservation request 

Kids On The Go Reservations are required to ensure that seats will be available (small children should not stand inside the bus).  The total number of riders (kids plus chaperones) cannot exceed 28 riders. You may be asked to adjust your travel time, if the bus is already full, due to a prior group trip reservation.

When you decide on the date and destination of your trip, give us a call at 920/832-5800 to make your reservation. Reservations should be made at least 24 hours in advance, but no more than 14 days in advance.
