Metro-North Student Commuter Information
CHS will work with families to help make arrangements for transportation after school to the Stratford train station for the Mail&Ride Student Program.
TICKET PURCHASE PROCESS
Metro-North Railroad offers discounted monthly student commuter tickets for students traveling to and from school. Monthly student commuter tickets can be purchased online using the Metro-North "Mail&Ride" program. Parents who wish to purchase monthly student commuter passes are required to submit the Mail&Ride Registration Form to Christian Heritage School no later than July 15. CHS will submit the information to Metro-North and Metro-North will email instructions and a user name and pin number directly to the parent. Parents must complete the online registration to obtain tickets. Once an online account has been established with Metro-North, the user name and pin number remains active until the student graduates. It is not necessary for students to re-register at the beginning of each school year. Tickets are mailed directly to the student each month. Parents who submit the Registration Form to CHS after July 15 will not be able to obtain a monthly pass for use until October.
More information on using the Metro-North “Mail&Ride” program is available at Metro-North Mail&Ride.
