The University of Iowa Parking and Transportation department offers discounted 20 ride bus passes for University employees and students to use on Iowa City or Coralville Transit buses. The pass provides 20 rides at a discounted fare of $.50 per ride compared to the regular boarding fare of $.75 per ride. The cost of the pass is $10.00 and is available to UI employees and students who meet specific requirements (see below for details and exceptions). UI employees and students who do not meet the requirements may purchase the pass at the non-discounted rate of $15.00.
Purchase of this bus
pass does not qualify you to use the Emergency Ride Home Program.
The pass is a magnetic-striped card, valid for 20 rides, which can be used at any time during the life of the card.
The pass is inserted into a card reader on the bus which
verifies the validity of the pass.
The card reader deducts one ride each time the pass is used.
The date of each ride is printed on the back of the pass
every time the pass is used.
The pass
is valid only on the designated transit system (either Iowa City or Coralville,
not both).
Passes will be sold only through UI Parking and
Transportation offices.
