Back to School Savings for Students Who Ride to Campus on NJ Transit

“Buy 3 Months, Get One 1 Month Free” Offer A Great Way For Students To Save On Travel To Participating New Jersey Colleges And Universities

From NJ TRANSIT -

Students heading back to class this fall semester on NJ TRANSIT’s bus, rail or light rail systems can enjoy as much as a 60% savings during the semester on fares with the continuation of NJ TRANSIT’s popular Student Pass discount program and Buy 3 Months, Get 1 Month Free promotion.

The Student Pass, in partnership with participating regional colleges and universities, offers full-time and part-time commuting students a 25% discount off an already-discounted monthly rail, bus or light rail pass when purchased via the NJ TRANSIT mobile app.

In addition to the 25% Student Pass discount, NJ TRANSIT will also welcome back students with the continuation of its Buy 3 Months, Get 1 Month Free promotion. To qualify, a student at a partner college or university must buy a student monthly pass via the NJ TRANSIT mobile app for three consecutive months: September, October, and November of 2024. They will then receive a December pass in their account for free!

For a student to be eligible, a school must offer Student Pass registration via their student portal and verify a student’s eligibility each semester. Once verified, Student Pass will appear each month as a ticket option during NJ TRANSIT’s usual monthly pass purchase period, beginning on the 19th of the preceding month through the 10th of the travel month.

After the third qualifying purchase, a monthly pass good for the month of December 2024 will appear during the December monthly pass purchase window. The free month’s pass will be equal to the lowest-priced purchase made in the previous three months and is valid for December 2024 use only. The free December 2024 pass is non-refundable and non-transferable.

Through this promotion, students can save more than 60% off transportation to campus during the Fall 2024 semester (September – December) when compared to purchasing one-way transportation.

NJ TRANSIT also offers another option for college students traveling by rail to campus:

Student Tickets – College students attending NJ TRANSIT-approved post-secondary schools, colleges, and universities can complete an application to purchase a printed rail monthly pass at a 25-percent discount from rail ticket offices. Applications must be verified by the respective school/college. This offer is available only for a rail pass.
