Verified 2026-07-02 against the county's live fare page (TechEMPOWER fact-check corpus — this program also appears in the techempower.org/qualify screener).
Since November 1, 2025, youth ages 6-17 no longer pay a fare on Nevada County Connects — and children 5 and under were already free. The county's fare table lists both groups as free, and youth are not among the Discount-Fare-ID categories, so there's genuinely no paperwork: just board.
