The Campus Connection Pass offers college students unlimited rides on Pace regular fixed route and On Demand buses every day of the week at any time of day.

College students need to load the Campus Connection Pass to a Ventra Card with a college entitlement applied to his/her transit account, and use the Ventra Card to ride. Already have a college student entitlement? Visit the VentraChicago.com or use the Ventra app to buy your pass!
For students who don't already have a Ventra card with the student entitlement and your school doesn't distribute Ventra cards directly to students, use this link below to obtain the college entitlement:
