JackPass

The University's Jack Pass program encourages mass transit and reduced fuel consumption by enabling students, faculty, and staff to travel on Humboldt County bus systems. Save car and parking expenses, and help protect the environment at the same time!

During the Fall and Spring semesters, all Humboldt students will have unlimited free ride access on the Redwood Transit System (RTS) buses, which serve the Route 101 corridor from Trinidad to Scotia, including Valley East and Valley West in Arcata, the Eureka Transit System (ETS) buses which serve the city of Eureka and Arcata & Mad River Transit System (A&MRTS) which serves the Arcata area, and Willow Creek/Arcata Route which is operated by Humboldt Transit Authority and travels between the communities of Arcata and Willow Creek.

Currently, registered students simply slide their Humboldt student identification card through the bus fare box and receive a free ride.

Staff, faculty, and Extended Education participants are also granted the same level of access for $60 a semester. 

During the summer session, there is a small fee of $45 for staff, faculty, and students not enrolled in the summer session.

If you are a student enrolled in at least one summer class, the cost for the summer session is only $30.

These fees can be paid at the Student Financial Services window on the second floor of the Student Business Services building.

Please contact Transportation & Parking Services at 707-826-3773 or parking@humboldt.edu with any questions or issues regarding JackPass.
