The College Transit Challenge is a competition that brings together students, faculty, staff and alumni from the five St. Louis-area colleges and universities with Metro U-Pass programs to see which school can ride public transit the most. Participants earn points for their school by riding MetroLink and MetroBus, attending the kickoff event, and completing challenges along the way.
Five Schools. Two States. One Transit System.
