U-Pass




  • You must present your Campus Card and Student Schedule at the time of pick-up for identification and verification of Full-Time status.

What Is A U-Pass?

A U-Pass is a deeply discounted transit farecard that offers ALL Full-Time students unlimited rides aboard all CTA buses and trains during the Fall and Spring semesters. Full-Time students are charged through their tuition account the preset U-Pass Activity Fee. This means that during the academic semester you virtually will not have to pay to use CTA public transportation. As a matter of fact, you will pay for your U-Pass in less than 20 round-trip rides. Just seventy cents per day is all you pay - whether commuting to your job, entertainment venues, local attractions, galleries, shopping, night life, and sporting events before, during, or after class, 24/7 - your U-Pass has you covered!

Sorry, Part-Time students, the CTA only offers this generous incentive to Full-Time students.
