Metro Ridership Program 

Xavier has partnered with Metro to continue our free ridership program for students and employees for academic year 2026-2027 (August 2026 - May 2027).

If you registered in prior terms, you need to re-register to access passes for the new academic year beginning Monday, August 10.  

Both new and returning users should use the following steps to get started with your free Metro passes today!

University students and employees should follow the 3-step process below.  

  1. Download the Transit app and create an account using your Xavier email. Use this Step-by-Step Guide.
  2. Add the EZ Fare Ticketing option to your account in the Transit app.
  3. Confirm your registration by completing the Xavier form on EngageXU.

NOTE: All steps MUST be completed in order, or you will NOT receive free bus passes in your Transit app ticket wallet. 

Metro will be on campus to assist with sign-ups and share information about local routes on the following dates:

  • Week of Welcome (more details to come)
  • Wednesday, August 26 from 2pm-5pm on the Xavier Yard (Club Day)

See here for information about Metro routes close to campus and below for details on each route.
