Not only do you save a significant amount of money (it costs about 5% of what a yearly pass would cost), but it’s also a safe way to ride home from events, parties, and clubs. Plus, a reduced demand for parking helps to maintain the green space on campus. You’ll also never be left stranded, especially in the winter—it’s a great backup plan for when your car doesn’t start! Everyone’s participation in the program helps reduce the costs for all students and reduces barriers to education.

There is no charge to replace your uPass the first time you lose it. A replacement fee of $145.00 will apply for any replacement stickers after your first free one.
