Baruch College/New Jersey Transit Collaboration

Baruch College participates in the NJ TRANSIT University Partnership Program, allowing eligible full-time and part-time degree-seeking students enrolled in at least two courses to receive a 25% discount on unlimited monthly rail, bus, and light rail travel. To receive the discounted fare, students must register through the Baruch NJ TRANSIT Student Discount Portal and use their official Baruch email address when creating or updating their NJ TRANSIT account. Once verified, students can purchase their discounted monthly pass through the NJ TRANSIT Mobile App.

NJ TRANSIT also offers other flexible options for college students traveling to campus:

• FLEXPASS – College students needing more flexibility in their commute may choose FLEXPASS as their best option. FLEXPASS offers customers 20 one-way trips at a 20 percent discount off full-fare tickets. Learn more at njtransit.com/flexpass.
• Student Tickets – College students attending NJ TRANSIT-accredited post-secondary schools, colleges and universities can complete an application to purchase a rail monthly pass at a 25-percent discount from rail ticket offices. Applications must be verified by the respective school/college. This offer is available only for a rail pass.
