CTA Ventra Card/U-Pass Card

The Ventra U-Pass Card will provide all eligible full-time students with unlimited rides on CTA buses and trains throughout the duration of an academic term at a reduced cost; the Ventra U-Pass Card eliminates the need to re-issue a U-Pass Card every semester.

The Ventra U-Pass Card also allows participating students to ride CTA buses and trains when school is out of session and on Pace buses. A full fare will be deducted from the student’s transit account for these trips. The Ventra fee will be automatically charged to all full-time students.

For more information, please contact Ventra U-Pass Card coordinators, Bobbie Stewart and Pearls Wiley, in the University Cashier’s Office at (773)995-2029 or by email at upass@csu.edu.
