Need a Ride to Class?
No Problem.
As part of a partnership with LYNX, Valencia College students and employees are able to ride the LYNX system absolutely free. Bus services are available on all LYNX fixed-routes and NeighborLink routes during times in which LYNX is in service.
To ride for free, students can access their ticket via the LYNX mobile PawPass.
To use the mobile bus tickets, students will need to sign a consent form at any campus security office, then download the PawPass app and complete the necessary steps for a student pass. The pass will remain current until a student graduates or is no longer active at the college.
If a student does not have access to a mobile device, then LYNX stickers are available by request at any campus security office. Stickers are only valid for one academic year.
If the LYNX PawPass student pass or a Valencia College ID with a current LYNX sticker is not presented when boarding, then the full fare must be paid to ride the bus.

About the Partnership

- Planning and implementation of additional routes
- Internship programs for students
- A planning and data sharing partnership
- Student research opportunities
- Training for LYNX employees
- Sustainability projects
