Free Public Transportation in Omaha
Your Creighton ID is Also a Free Bus Pass
Creighton University students, faculty and staff can use their Creighton JayCard ID to ride any Metro Transit or ORBT bus in Omaha any time for free. Called JayPass, this is a unique collaboration between Creighton and Metro Transit that lets our students, staff and faculty use the public bus system to get to campus or just move around Omaha.
The JayPass is an economical and sustainable option for traveling to and from Creighton’s Omaha campus, and other points in the metro area, plus it saves you the inconvenience of searching for a parking stall on or around campus.
How JayPass Works
If you are a Creighton student actively taking classes, or a current faculty of staff member, your JayCard is already activated as your JayPass. Just get on the bus, swipe your card in the terminal labeled UMO and ride.
JayPass privileges are only granted to the Creighton student, faculty or staff member pictured on the JayCard ID.
