The U-Pass isa mandatory transit pass for all graduate and undergraduate students who are registered full-time at the University of Ottawa, or completing a CO-OP work term.

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

U-Pass Benefits

The U-Pass offers a discount of approximately 45-55% off a regular monthly adult transit pass.It also benefits the local community, the University, and the environment by:

• Saving you money, especially if you leave the car at home or only partially use your car.
• Providing unlimited access to the entire transit network in the National Capital Region (Ottawa & Gatineau), which in turn allows students to access jobs, social activities, and a wide variety of museums and parks.
• Reducing demand for parking on campus; thus, less resources are spent on constructing parking facilities and more valuable land is available for university development.
• Reducing traffic congestion around the campus and the local community.
• Contributing to fewer emissions and a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
• Stimulating public transportation ridership, particularly during off-peak, non-commuting hours, thereby filling excess capacity.

During the summer, the U-Pass is only valid if you’re enrolled full time or you’re completing a summer term co-op placement. Check your U-Pass portal.

If this isn’t the case for you, you might be eligible for the EquiPass, OC Transpo’s reduced fare pass. The process can take up to a month, so consider applying soon. See if you’reyour eligibility and apply.
