The city of Dubuque continues its policy of offering free rides to students from kindergarten to college.

In a press release, Transit Operations Supervisor Jodi Johnson says the usual adult fare of $1.50 is being waived for students who can show valid identification.

The institutions included in this fee waiver are:

Capri College
Clark University
Emmaus Bible College
Loras College
Northeast Iowa Community College
University of Dubuque
Wartburg Theological Seminary
