To keep the pass working over the summer, students can visit the Buff OneCard office in C4C and purchase an “optional bus pass” for $85 (if purchased from RTD directly it would cost $342). This program is also available for residents of family housing. For those who are enrolled and paying mandatory fees for a summer term(s), no further action needs to be taken and their pass will continue to work.
