Discounted Transit Passes

**Please note paper passes will no longer be available beginning October 28, 2024. Valley Metro has transitioned to the Copper Card, a reloadable smartcard. For more information, visit the Valley Metro webpage. Our GateWay Bookstore (Follett) is transitioning to this new system; more information will become available soon. We apologize for the inconvenience

SAVE ON BUS & LIGHT RAIL

Discounted transit vouchers are available to GateWay Community College students and full-time employees, through the Student Life and Leadership Center.  These subsidies, made possible by Maricopa County Community Colleges, are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

The vouchers can be used to purchase monthly passes from Valley Metro through the college bookstore. The passes are valid for 31 consecutive days, including the first day they're used to enter a bus, or the light rail system. For routes, fares, and links to the Transit Trip Planner, visit the Valley Metro website: valleymetro.org.
