Eat, Play, Work, Study with OC Bus and UPass

For many students, cars and campuses don't mix. Parking is scarce and fees are pricey, and the overall cost of car ownership is just one more big expense along with tuition, books, and living expenses.

To help students get to class and travel the rest of OC for fun, work, food, and shopping, OCTA has partnered with Chapman University, Cal State Fullerton, and UC Irvine to provide affordable, convenient transportation. Customized for the needs and requirements of each partnering school, the University Pass (UPass) allows students to ride OC Bus all day, every day for a fraction of the cost of regular OC Bus fares.

Through September 30, UPass holders who take 15 trips are eligible to enter a contest for a $200 gift card package for Chipotle, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, Target, iTunes, and Best Buy.
