PRONTO Virtual Transit Passes

CSUSM students are eligible for a discounted San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) student regional transit pass.  Discounted transit passes must be purchased online through student's Parking Account. Once purchased, students will receive an email from Parking and Commuter Services with more information about how to access their virtual transit pass through the mobile app PRONTO. It may take up to twenty-hour (24) hours to receive this email during normal business hours. 

Semester Transit passes are valid for the full semester for which they are purchased.  Dates and prices vary by semester (see current semester price below).

Monthly passes are only valid for the calendar month for which it is purchased for.  Passes go on sale the 25th of the previous month to the 15th of the current month you would like to use the pass.  For example, October passes are on sale from September 25th to October 15th but the transit pass would only be valid for the calendar month of October 1st to October 31st.
