In 2004, NJ TRANSIT began a partnership with several colleges and universities in New Jersey to offer a 25 percent discount off NJ TRANSIT's already discounted rate for monthly passes to students who purchase their pass online.


Student Discount Monthly Pass

  • The discount is available for eligible Rutgers University full-time or part-time undergraduate and graduate students for rail, bus, or light rail monthly passes. 
  • Students must be enrolled in at least two courses to be eligible for the discount.
  • 25% discount is off of the regular monthly pass price
  • Students must apply online - NJ Transit Quik - Tik Program
  • Students must enroll by the 10th of the month to receive a pass for the following month. (For example, to receive a monthly pass for October, you must sign up by September 10th.)
  • The monthly pass will be sent to you directly through the mail
  • Effective with the mailing of September 2009 monthly passes, a non-refundable $3.00 processing fee will be applied by NJ Transit each month, in addition to the fare for the monthly pass

Buy 3 Months, Get 1 Free Month in Spring 2023

  • Use the NJ Transit mobile app to purchase a Student Monthly pass for three consecutive months: February, March, and April 2023
  • Once all three qualifying months have been purchased, student will receive a free monthly pass valid for May 2023, equal to the lowest-priced purchase made in the previous three months
