The Student Universal Transit Pass (U-Pass) provides all full- and part-time undergraduate and graduate students with a transit pass that is valid 24 hours a day, seven days a week on all forms of municipal transit during the terms that students purchase the U-Pass. The U-Pass is discounted by 66 per cent of the full price. The institution subsidizes the cost of the pass to facilitate the discount.
