Universal Pass Program

The U-Pass program is an exclusive agreement between Calgary Transit and the post secondary institutions listed below.


How the Program Works

U-Pass programs require an identification card with the participant’s picture. Once the U-pass fee has been paid, the Institution (often the Registrar’s office) will affix a sticker onto the identification card. This card now becomes your transit fare medium. Simply show your card with valid sticker to the bus driver or the Protective Services Officers if on the CTrain.

There are no restrictions as to day or time, and the U-Pass provides unlimited rides.

Conditions of Use:

The participant's identification card with valid U-Pass sticker MUST be carried at all times when riding Calgary Transit and must be presented to the bus operator when boarding the bus or to Protective Services Officers on request while riding the CTrain.

The U-Pass is not transferable and may only be used by the participant whose name and photo appear on the identification card.

The U-Pass participant is responsible for knowing the effective dates of their program and to ensure that they have a valid identification card with sticker on their possession.

Information on valid dates is available on campus advertising or the institution's web-site. If you have any questions, you should contact the Registrar's office at your institution.
