OCTA offers college students specially discounted passes to help them keep more money in their wallets while traveling to class or exploring OC using fixed-route buses. An OCTA College Fare ID is required when boarding the bus using any OCTA College Pass (C-Pass).
Applying for the free ID is a snap. Using the online application on OCTA’s website, college students simply upload proof of enrollment of 9 or more credit hours and a recent photo that follows the guidelines in the application. Those who qualify will receive their new ID in the mail; the ID is good for six months. After that, students can renew the ID if they are enrolled in 9 or more credit hours.
C-Passes are available in increments of 30, 75, and 120 days. The 30-day pass is available all year while the others are only available during school registration. For more information, visit OCTA.net.
