Updates to NJ TRANSIT Discount Student Ticket Program

Stevens Institute of Technology is happy to announce that NJ TRANSIT has greatly improved its discount student ticket program. Full-time Stevens students are still eligible to receive a 25% discount on monthly passes for rail, bus, and light rail, but no longer must purchase paper tickets that they receive via mail. Instead, students are now able to register, using their Stevens.edu email addresses, for Mobile Student accounts and purchase their monthly passes on the NJ TRANSIT mobile app. Students will display the passes on their phones when riding NJ TRANSIT to or from school. Visit the myStevens transit page or NJ TRANSIT’s page to learn more about the program and to learn how to register for an account. Passes may be purchased through the myStevens transit page or by clicking on “Student Tickets” on this page.
Please contact Luke Hansen at lhansen@stevens.edu with any questions or if you need assistance.
