A brief description of the program:
The University has a free campus shuttle that travels between campus and the more remote parking lots, plus four campus circulator routes. The routes provide transportation between the East Bank, West Bank, and St. Paul campuses, delivering 3.5 million rides annually. The University also has a partnership with the city's bus service, Metro Transit, to provide discounted bus and lightrail passes to University student, faculty, and staff. Students are able to obtain a U-Pass for $97 per semester. The U-Pass allows students unlimited rides on all regular bus and light rail lines. Staff and faculty can obtain a MetroPass, which gives them unlimited monthly access for $76 a month. The U-Pass and MetroPass result in over 5.0 million rides annually, helping University students, staff, and faculty travel around the Twin Cities.
