News: Metro, Pasadena City College Partner Again to Offer Students Affordable Transit Passes

Pasadena City College and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) and Foothill Transit have partnered once again to offer low-cost public transportation passes to students. The I-TAP (Institutional Transit Access Pass) allows full-time students enrolled in at least 12 units to ride the Metro for $32 this semester. Students can visit PCC’s Student Business Services in Room B203 to purchase the passes.

I-TAP is valid on Metro buses and Metro Rail lines seven days a week. Students can use the transit access passes for all other transportation needs, including work, shopping, or recreation. Because they are saving transportation costs, students may be encouraged to take additional college units and can invest the free travel time transit affords them to study or rest.

For additional information on the Institution Pass program, call (213) 922-2811. For transit trip planning assistance over the phone, call 1-800-COMMUTE or visit http://metro.net.
