Students who desire to participate are required to opt-in, confirming that they want a CTA U-Pass and agreeing to be charged the CTA Transit fee on their Bursar account. CTA also continues to offer flexibility by allowing UIC to administer the U-PASS program as optional. The Fall 2023 CTA U-PASS will be available to any student with 6 or more credit hours. UIC and CTA entered into an experimental pilot program to include some part-time students (6 credit hours or more) during fall and spring Semesters starting Fall 2020 and this continues for Fall 2023. Visit the CTA Forest Park Branch Rebuild website for detailed information and project updates.

Blue Line riders traveling to campus are encouraged to plan ahead and allow extra travel time through the summer and early fall. The campus announcement regarding these closures can be viewed here. The CTA Blue Line tracks serving UIC and UI Health will close for reconstruction beginning July 23 through Oct.
