WELCOME TO THE VENTRA

PACE COLLEGE PROGRAM

Pace College / University Student

Pace has transitioned to Ventra, the easy way to pay your fare for trains and buses on Pace and CTA. Per

Pace fare policy, eligible (enrolled) college and university students can get a Campus Connection pass if

they have one of the following:

! Pace College Ventra Card – A Pace College Ventra Card with an active college Entitlement allows

you to purchase the Campus Connection pass.

o Active CTA College/University U-Pass holders do not need to apply for the Pace College

Ventra Program. College students who have an active CTA College U-Pass already have a

college entitlement status in their Ventra Transit Account. As a result, they can purchase a

Campus Connection pass.

! College Entitlement Ventra Transit Account – If you already have a registered Ventra Transit

Account, it can be configured with an active college entitlement, which allows you to purchase the

Campus Connection pass.

College and university students can get their Pace College Ventra Card or Entitlement by one of

two ways:

! Participating Schools – Visit your college/university administrator and submit your request.

Participating college/university administrators can either order you a Pace Ventra College Card, or

have a college entitlement status assigned to your Ventra Transit Account.

! Non-Participating Schools – If your school does not participate in the Pace Ventra College Program,

then you will have to complete and mail the Individual Order Form for the Pace Ventra College

Program. Order forms are located on the Ventra website at ventrachicago.com.

Pace advises you to register your Pace College Ventra Card on ventrachicago.com or by calling

1.877.NOW.VENTRA (1.877.669.8368). Card registration protects your transit value if your card is reported lost or

stolen and gives you access to convenient account management features online or over the phone.

Once you have registered your Pace College Ventra Card and added value, you are ready to tap and

board to ride Pace and the CTA.

USING VENTRA:

! Add transit value to your Pace College Ventra Card Account at participating Ventra retailers,

Ventra Vending Machines, and if registered, at ventrachicago.com,

and by calling 1.877.NOW.VENTRA. (You can find your nearest Ventra retailer at

ventrachicago.com.)

! Once a Pace College Ventra Card Account has sufficient transit pass or value, you simply tap

your Pace College Ventra Card on the Ventra Card reader to board trains and buses.

! Register your Pace College Ventra Card on ventrachicago.com or by calling 1.877.NOW.VENTRA.

! If your Pace College Ventra Card is lost AND was registered, you may cancel it on the associated

Pace College Ventra Card Account by calling 1.877.NOW.VENTRA. To get a replacement Pace

College Ventra Card please re-fill out the Individual Order From – Pace Campus Connection Pass

($2 replacement fee will apply).

! For more information, please refer to Ventra Terms of Use located at ventrachicago.com.
