Ride Rochester Transit:

RGRTA/RTS

Pre-tax savings on a RTS transit pass are available to employees!

PAYROLL DEDUCTION AVAILABLE FOR RTS BUS PASSES: Faculty and staff can take advantage of the ability to pay for yearly bus passes for RTS with pre-tax money through payroll deduction.  By signing up for this service, employees will use tax-free money to pay for the bus passes on a monthly basis.  This not only spreads the cost out over 12 months, but results in reduced taxable income, which in turn saves on taxes and increases take-home pay. Stop by the Parking office to register and pick up your bus pass.  For more information call 275-4524

Public Transit: RTS Bus lines frequent the University daily.
