La Crosse MTU (Municipal Transit Utility)
UNLIMITED PASSAGE
U-PASS DETAILS:
The UWL Student Association, UWL Administration, and MTU worked together to bring UW-La Crosse students and employees the U-PASS program. The Program has two parts: daily unlimited, fare free passage on all MTU bus routes and the Safe Ride - a safe ride between downtown and campus during evening hours on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The Safe Ride began with the Fall 2000-01 Semester and the daily fare free MTU service for students kicked off with the Spring 2000-01 Semester.
From the fall of 2000 through 2022, MTU buses have provided over 2.6 million rides for students!
