You may begin using OmniTrans during the effective dates (as listed above). If you first register for classes during late registration it could take up to two business days to activate your status.

What if I drop all my courses in the semester, am I still eligible to ride the bus?

No. Any student who withdraws or is dismissed due to discuplinary action from the college or decreases their number of units to zero shall no longer be eligible for the program, regardless of fee payment.

What if I don't have a student ID?

You must have a student ID to participate in the GoSmart Program and ride the bus. If you do not have an ID, you can obtain one by going to Student Life during business hours. Student Life is located across from Admissions and Records.

What if I lost my student ID?

You can obtain a replacement student ID in the Student Life office.

What if I'm told my student ID does not work?

Your bus driver should tell you why your card does not work. You will need that information to know how to troubleshoot resolving your situation.

I was told I am on the bad list, what does that mean?

If your student ID is not accepted and the driver tells you that you are on the bad list that means that you are not eligible for the GoSmart Program. You are either not enrolled in any courses or you just recently enrolled and paid the transportation fee and have not yet been added to the list of eligible students. If you enroll after the first day of the semester of full-term classes it could take up to two business days to add you to the list of eligible students.

Who do I contact with problems about using the bus?
