Students spend just pennies a day and never worry about parking with convenient pass
SAN ANTONIO (Dec. 27, 2017) — Area students can save money, study for class, and surf the web for just pennies a day with a $38 VIA Semester Pass. The convenience and savings are available to all students in grades K-12 and enrolled in area colleges, universities, and trade schools. For less than the cost of a tank of gas, local students can ride VIA anytime, on any regular service bus, and they enjoy free 4G LTE WiFi throughout the semester, from January 1 to July 31.
The Semester Pass is on sale now and can be purchased at any VIA Information Center. To obtain a Semester Pass, a student must show proof of current registration or proof of enrollment in an accredited degree plan, proof of a paid or partially paid tuition bill, and a school photo ID. If a student does not have a photo ID, VIA can issue one for a $2 fee at the VIA Metro Center, the Downtown Information Center, the Kel-Lac Transit Center, the South Texas Medical Center Transit Center, the North Star Transit Center, and the Crossroads Park & Ride.
Students attending any of Alamo Colleges may visit the Bursar’s Office to pick up a Semester Pass, which is included in tuition fees. Students at the University of Texas at San Antonio Main Campus may purchase a Semester Pass at the Roadrunner Express Store. University of the Incarnate Word students may purchase a Semester Pass at the Student Activity Center Information Desk.
