ÌýÌýDo I need to get a separate RTD College Pass?

No, your Buff OneCard student ID is also your transit pass. Just tap your Buff OneCard on the card reader of the bus or train transit stop. If you don’t have your Buff OneCard yet, follow the directions on theÌýBuff OneCard website.

ÌýÌýI lost my Buff OneCard. Can I get another one?

ÌýÌýMy card keeps failing when I tap it on the bus' card reader.

The problem could be arise for variety of reasons.

1. Be sure that you are using your Buff OneCard and not your previously issued College/EcoPass. The College/EcoPass is no longer accepted for Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ students or employees.
   1. Any pass issued on or after 2017 has aÌýlogo to designate it is RFID enabled. If you have a pass issued prior to 2017 you will need to contactÌýboc@colorado.eduÌýto get a new card.
2. 

   Remove the card from your carrier and make sure that it’s away from other RFID embedded card.

3. Tap the card for 3 seconds on the proper location of the reader. If you tap it on the clear screen meant for cell phones, you will get an error code.
4. It often takes a tap or two before the reader on the bus or train recognizes a newly issued card.
5. Ensure that your card isn’t damaged. There is a very small antenna in the card that can be broken, and a new card will need to be issued.
6. Use your newest assigned card. Any previously issued Buff OneCards have been deactivated.

If your problem still hasn’t been resolved, please let us know at buspass@colorado.edu and we’ll work with you to solve the issue.
