Affordable transportation is a must for college students.
Pace's comprehensive system of bus routes, combined with unlimited rides using the Campus Connection Pass, make travel to and from class, simple and affordable. With no day or time restrictions, the Campus Connection Pass takes you where you need to go after class too!
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. The pass is valid for an entire semester (5 months) or it can be purchased during the semester at a pro-rated price. When riding Pace Premium routes, Campus Connection passholders pay only a $2.25 surcharge.

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:
