*This represents a 50% subsidy, with the other 50% paid for you by UCLA Transportation.
Eligibility
Students are eligible if they are currently enrolled for the academic quarter, as verified by the UCLA Registrar's Office. Faculty and Staff are eligible if they work on the UCLA campus and are employed 40% or more time. You must have a valid UCLA BruinCard before you can apply, because your new Go Metro pass will use the BruinCard picture on file. You can purchase a Go Metro Pass even if you already have an individual UCLA parking permit (UCLA Carpool Permit members are not eligible) or a BruinGo Flash Pass. You are not eligible to receive a subsidized Go Metro pass if you are a member of a UCLA Vanpool.
The pass is the property of Metro and can be confiscated if used for purposes other than intended.
Renewing Online
Once you have your Go Metro Pass, go online at the beginning of the new sales period and sign-up for the next quarter. Within 3 business days, the new fare will be electronically loaded onto your existing TAP card. You must TAP on the bus or rail for the fare download to activate. Make sure to print out your receipt and confirmation number when you renew online.
Rider Notes:
- It takes up to 3 business days after you purchase the Go Metro pass for the electronic registration of fares to occur. During this time, you may be required to pay regular fares on Metro. If you buy early in the sales period you will not have to pay these extra out-of-pocket charges.
- Faculty & Staff save even more when they sign-up for the Go Metro pass via payroll deduction. The payroll deduction option is only available by purchasing the pass online. You must renew the payroll deduction authorization online each quarter you sign-up for Go Metro pass.
- Go Metro passes are valid on any Metro bus or rail line, but cannot be used to ride the buses or trains of any other transit agency (Metrolink, Big Blue Bus, Culver CityBus, LADOT, etc)
