Student Transportation Passes
RTD College Passes provide eligible students full use of regular RTD bus and light rail services, enabling the holder to ride on RTD services without paying any cash fare. The College Pass is not valid for special services (SkyRide Bus, BroncosRide, RockiesRide, etc).
To activate your CollegePass, download the RTD MyRide App for your mobile device, and create an account using your @du.edu email address.
Full instructions for installing the app, creating your account, and activating your CollegePass can be found here:

Issues with your pass? Please contact RTD through the help options in the MyRide App and they should be able to assist you. If RTD is unable to resolve the issue, please contact the Pioneer ID Card Office.
If you cannot access the MyRide App, contact the DU ID Office at pcard@du.edu and we can assist you with obtaining a MyRide Card.
Not all students are eligible for the College Pass. Please see eligibility details below, or contact the Pioneer ID Card Office to check your eligibility.
Eligibility is calculated on a term-by-term basis. The Pioneer ID Card Office recommends checking your eligibility status every term to ensure an issued pass is still usable. Passes issued for upcoming terms will only become active once those terms have begun.
