Notice about Transportation Fee
In the Spring of 2019, the Associated Students of College of the Desert (ASCOD) voted on and approved the implementation of a mandatory transportation fee. The resolution passed with a 61% majority. Beginning Spring 2020, all students will see the mandatory $25 transportation fee appearing on their student account and registration statement for Fall and Spring semesters only. To learn more about the transportation fee and review a list of frequently asked questions, please visit the
Transportation fee page. For questions regarding the ASCOD transportation resolution, please contact the
Office of Student Life at (760) 862-1317.

Students must be enrolled at the College of the Desert to be eligible.
Students will use their active student ID card by swiping them through the SunBus card reader on the farebox. Should you require assistance, bus operators can help.
Students who have yet to obtain their college ID cards can obtain their ID at multiple locations.
