What is the Bus Pass program?
Mountain Line, which is run by NAIPTA (Northern Arizona Intergovernmental Public Transportation Authority), continues to grant discounted passes to CCC for its students and staff.
The passes allow transit service access on all Mountain Line routes from September 11, 2023 through June 30, 2024. Students & Employees may purchase an annual pass for $23.75 as available. Pass availability is limited so they will be distributed on a first come, first served basis.
Why are CCC and Mountain Line offering this program?
CCC and Mountain Line officials have been aware of CCC’s parking shortage issues during peak times. Encouraging more use of public transit is a natural and cost-effective alternative to building more parking spots, so the two entities agreed that removing the financial barrier to riding transit might encourage more students to leave their cars at home.
What does the pass look like?
The pre-loaded smart cards are orange and say “ecoPASS” on the front.
Where can CCC faculty, staff, and students get a pass?
All students and employees who want to purchase a discounted bus pass for $23.75 must complete a brief form available at the top of this page. Then visit the Student Accounts window to complete the purchase and receive the pass.
If I was issued a bus pass last year, is it still valid?
No. Continuing students and employees will need to procure a new Mountain Line card as the old cards expired on June 30, 2023.
How are the bus passes used and are there any restrictions?
The passes can be used on any Mountain Line route at any time. When boarding a bus, the pass should be tapped on the card reader. A green light will indicate that the pass is valid. Any CCC student or employees member participating in the program should be prepared to present a valid CCC identification card to the driver if requested. All passes are non-transferable and may not be used by anyone who is not a current CCC student or faculty/staff member. Drivers will confiscate passes that are used fraudulently and report the pass number back to CCC.
How are the passes tracked and what if a student or faculty/staff member leaves CCC?
Each pass contains a 14-digit number/letter code on the back and CCC will track which pass is given to whom. The CCC Business Office has developed a system to tie individual passes to individual students or employees. CCC will run reports on a regular basis to send information to NAIPTA on which cards to deactivate.
What if a pass is lost, stolen or damaged?
If your pass is lost/stolen/misplaced/damaged, please report as soon as possible to prevent misuse of the lost pass. You may report lost/stolen/misplaced or damaged.
