Transit Pass

All full-time Trent Durham GTA undergraduate students will receive a Universal Transit Pass (UPASS) for Durham Region Transit (DRT) as part of their ancillary fees. The digital UPASS is only available for the fall and winter terms from September 1 - April 30. You will receive an email informing you that your UPASS is ready to be activated at the beginning of each term.

How do I use the new digital UPASS?

The digital U-Pass uses the PRESTO E-Ticket app to provide a convenient and contact-free way to show proof of payment when using DRT services. Follow these simple steps:

1. Download the PRESTO E-Ticket app:  The PRESTO E-Ticket app can be downloaded for free to your smartphone from the App Store or Google Play Store.
2. Create your account: Set up your personal account on the PRESTO E-Ticket app.  Be sure to use your Trent e-mail address. This is how you will receive the digital U-Pass in your account.
3. Activate your PRESTO E-Ticket before you ride: The digital U-Pass will appear in the “Available” folder in your PRESTO E-Ticket app when you receive the email that it is available.  Be sure to activate the U-Pass E-Ticket before your first ride on DRT. 
4. Show and tap your PRESTO E-Ticket: When boarding a DRT bus, open the QR code in the activated PRESTO E-Ticket and hold it to the barcode scanner on the PRESTO reader to validate your fare.* 

* PRESTO E-Ticket customers should be sure to download the latest update to the PRESTO E-Ticket app in order to enable QR code fare validation.

Remember that your digital U-Pass is non-transferable and valid for travel on DRT services only. If you do not have a smartphone, please contact tammymcdonald@trentu.ca with your name and student number.
