Thanks to your U-Pass, you can enjoy considerable savings compared to the cost of monthly transit passes.

The U-Pass is a mandatory bus pass program for all graduate and undergraduate students who are registered full-time at the University of Ottawa, completing a CO-OP work term, or going on an outgoing exchange. 

The U-Pass is a student initiative that has come into effect through successful student referendums and through collaboration with OC Transpo and STO.
