Metro Transit offers several transit passes available through employers, schools and
organizations. All of them offer the same convenience of the Go-To Card — faster
boarding, seamless transfers and balance protection – but in addition, these passes
are valid for unlimited rides on bus and METRO lines. Rides on Northstar may require
additional stored value.
These passes are often the best value if you ride transit frequently. If you don’t
have access to these passes through your employer, school or organization learn
about other money-saving passes available on a Go-To Card.
Transit Assistance Program (TAP)
TAP makes transit more affordable for low-income residents.
Once qualified, you can get a TAP card that, when you add money to it, you
get a $1.00 fare (plus a 2½-hour transfer!) on every ride you take. The card
must be registered and cannot be used by another person.
Metropass
Companies and organizations enroll in Metropass, then you
get unlimited access to all regional buses and trains for $83 per month;
even less if your organization offers pre-tax benefits or subsidizes your
pass. Add stored value to pay fares above $3.25 (at some Northstar
stations).
Student Pass
When your high school signs up for Student Pass, you’re eligible for
access to all regional buses and trains.
Ask your school today if you are eligible for the easiest and least expensive
way to get to school and extracurricular activities. Your student ID is
required along with the pass; the card is valid only when used by the named
cardholder. All students agree to the Metro Transit Code of Conduct. Failure
to adhere to the policies of your school or Metro Transit may result in pass
deactivation.

College Pass
Whether it’s to class, work or fun, make a smart choice and get
around town with a College Pass for $165 or less per semester.

on buses and trains for an entire semester. College Passes are sold at each
school and expire at the end of each semester. Add stored value to your
College Pass to pay fares above $3.25 (at some Northstar stations).
