Monthly TriMet bus passes are sold to faculty and staff by pre-tax monthly payroll deduction. This can be arranged by contacting the campus transportation and parking office. Students may purchase monthly bus passes and trip tickets at Campus Safety daily from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, the Transportation and Parking office and Law School Business office Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Subsidized Bus Pass Policy

The Lewis & Clark subsidized TriMet bus pass purchase policy is as follows:

Only Lewis & Clark students, faculty, and staff are authorized to purchase and use subsidized monthly bus passes and trip tickets. Use of the pass by family, friends, or associates is a violation of this policy and is grounds for disqualification from future purchases of subsidized bus passes.

Only one (1) subsidized monthly bus pass purchase for each Lewis & Clark student, faculty member, or staff member is permitted.

Those who purchase subsidized TriMet bus passes and trip tickets are prohibited from also purchasing a semester parking pass.
