    Do it with OC Bus and the UPass.

    Crowded parking lots. Expensive parking passes. You need wheels to get around but parking on campus can be such a drag. That’s why OC Bus has partnered with local universities to provide students with an affordable and convenient transportation option called the UPass.

    Students at Chapman, Cal State Fullerton and UC Irvine are eligible to join this program. UPass allows students to ride OC Bus all day, every day for a fraction of the cost compared to regular fare. See below for specific school programs and information on how to enroll.
