CAMPUS INITIATIVES
Free Bus Passes

Since 2005, ASU Parking and Transit Services has offered U-Pass. This bus pass is available to students free of charge, and to faculty and staff for a discounted rate, and grants unlimited year round access to all four campuses and to greater Phoenix via public transportation on the Valley Metro system. ASU U-Passes may be obtained at the ASU Parking and Transit Services offices at all four campuses. A valid ASU Sun Card is required.

In the spring semester of 2007, the university distributed 14,000 U-Passes, eliminating as much as 176 tons of pollution and saving over $1 million in fuel costs for the year.
