The University of Iowa Parking and Transportation department offers discounted 20 ride bus passes for University faculty, staff and students to use on Iowa City or Coralville Transit buses. The University of Iowa Parking and Transportation Department will further reduce the cost of the pass and sell it at the subsidized rate if the UI faculty, staff or student meets specific requirements (see below for details and exceptions). For those UI faculty, staff and students who do not meet the requirements, the pass may be purchased at the non-subsidized rate.
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.

Damaged or expired passes may be replaced if the pass is brought to UI Parking & Transportation and the number of rides used can be determined. The cost of the replacement pass equals the cost of the rides used.
