OCTA U-Pass
Take the bus. It’s FREE!
If you want to reduce your commuting costs, alleviate commuting stress and make productive use of your commuting time, ride an OCTA bus to campus!
U-Pass Program
The U-Pass program was designed to get you to campus and back without the hassle. It is available to all CSUF students, faculty, and staff. Just
pick up a bus pass from the Parking & Transportation Office and swipe your pass through the fare box inside the bus, and your fare is automatically paid on all local routes. It’s easy. It’s convenient. And best of all, it’s FREE. CSUF parking ticket revenue funds this program.
You can also bring along your bike! Click here to view a video about how to board your bicycle on the bus.
OCTA - OC Express
Participants may also use their U-Pass to ride OC Express buses. Just swipe your
pass through the fare box inside the bus, and your fare is automatically paid. The OC Express limited-stop service will get you to and from CSUF faster. Plus, every seat on the OC Express has a lap tray, power connection, reading light and comfortable high-back seating. You can use your time to catch up on reading, work on your laptop, or just lean back and enjoy the ride.
