Universal Transit Pass (U-Pass)

The Universal Transit Pass (U-Pass) program provides eligible students at participating institutions unlimited travel on ETS (including DATS*) and participating regional providers**.

*DATS registration is required prior to using DATS service, please contact 780-496-4567 or dats@edmonton.ca.

**Route 747 is not a participating provider. Students who present their U-Pass will have it treated as a valid ETS bus pass, and will be required to pay an additional fare.
