What AB 861 does, verified February 3, 2026

The bill requires the Los Angeles Community College District to annually enter into a memorandum of understanding with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority to provide GoPass tap cards to participating students enrolled at a campus of the community college district. This will allow students to use public transportation to commute to school. The bill also establishes a student ambassador program within the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, where students will assist with security, rider assistance, and facility upkeep on metro rail and bus lines serving campuses of the Los Angeles Community College District. The district must submit an annual report to the Department of Finance and the budget committees of the Assembly and Senate, which must include information about the transit pass program and the student ambassador program.
