Some campus departments pay for bus passes for their student employees; check with your supervisor regarding summer bus pass purchase by department recharge.

Students Enrolled in Summer Session

Showing a UCSC Student I.D. Card with a Summer 2011 sticker provides students unlimited rides on Metro buses. Metro service for students is funded through your Student Transit Fee.

• Continuing students can pick up your validation sticker at the Summer Session Office,
140 Hahn Student Services Building.

• Starting the first day of classes, new students can visit the ID Card Office with a photo ID and enrollment verification to obtain a UCSC Summer Session ID card.

• Summer 2011 stickers are valid from June 13, 2011 through September 30, 2011.

Quarterly Bus Passes

TAPS offers a Quarterly Bus Pass for Metro bus use for eligible residential campus affiliates that do not qualify for a Faculty/Staff Bus Pass or a Student ID Card bus pass. Those eligible to purchase a Quarterly Bus Pass include spouses, domestic partners and children of faculty, staff and students that reside on–campus, including Laureate Court Apartments.

Note: Santa Cruz Metro buses serve the campus during summer quarter. Check out Metro bus schedules for University routes 10, 16, 19 and 20.
