Be Mighty METRO

Be Mighty METRO is a program facilitated by Be Mighty Little Rock in tandem with Rock Region Metro. Qualifying families receive a purple Be Mighty library card(s) that acts as their ID to board the bus, and month-long bus passes for caregivers and children (children four years old and under ride for free and do not require a pass).

When signing up for Be Mighty METRO, at least one child must be present with the caregiver. After signing up for METRO, children do not need to be present when caregivers return to collect monthly passes. Passes do not have to be picked up at the same branch visited when signing up.

Because Be Mighty receives a limited number of passes each month, it is common for branches to quickly run out of month passes. Passes are distributed on a first come, first served basis and cannot be guaranteed to participants.

To qualify, caregivers and their child(ren) must live in Little Rock and qualify for a CALS library card. Caregivers cannot qualify for TAP (Transportation Alliance Project) and must live in the same household as the child(ren).

To apply for Be Mighty METRO or pick up monthly passes, visit any of the following library branches:

• Children’s Library and Learning Center (1400 W. 10th St., Little Rock AR 72204)
• Dee Brown Library (6352 Baseline Rd., Little Rock AR 72209)
• Fletcher Library (823 N. Buchanan St., Little Rock AR 72205)
• McMath Library (2100 John Barrow Rd., Little Rock AR 72204)
• Williams Library (1800 S. Chester St., Little Rock AR 72206)
