The University of Minnesota is served by more than two dozen bus routes and the METRO Green Line so transit is an easy and stress-free way to get on (and off) campus!
Your U Card now has a Universal Transit Pass on it, which gives unlimited rides to U of M undergraduate and graduate students who pay the Transportation and Safety Fee. Activate it at a kiosk or the activation stations at the Coffman Union Welcome Desk or St. Paul Student Center. You get rides on regional buses and trains – including Metro Transit buses, METRO lines, and suburban transit providers. It also provides a reduced fare on the Northstar commuter rail.
Metropass (faculty and staff)
Metropass provides U of M staff and faculty a discount on the typical monthly transit pass. It's also valid on buses and light rail.
