Irvine Valley College full-time and part-time credit students currently registered for the semester.
In order to address the lack of transportation as a barrier to student success, the Associated Students of Irvine Valley College (ASIVC) is supporting a free bus pass program for IVC students. This partnership with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) will allow full-time and part-time credit students, beginning Fall 2021 to access all OCTA fixed-route buses for transportation to school, work, or other destinations. The first year of this three-year pilot program is funded by the Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP), a part of the Cap-and-Trade Program. During the second and third years (Fall 2022 – Spring 2024), the cost of the program will be paid for by the ASIVC.
Your pass will be available via OCTA’s mobile application. Students will have to create an account on the OC Bus mobile application in order to receive the mobile ticket. The email account used to register must be the same one used by the college administration for registration or preference. Please contact your college administration or registrar’s office for more details, if your email is not already known prior to setting up the account.
Enrollment does not guarantee immediate activation. Please wait up to 72 hours for processing.
