It's fairly common for student ID cards to also serve as passes for public transportation. Often times the card will have a special sticker, or in some cases, the student ID itself is all that's required. As transit payment programs become more advanced however, some schools are changing the ways they integrate student IDs into these systems. Utah Valley University, for instance, is incorporating contactless card technology so that student IDs can function with new card readers installed in Utah Transit Agency (UTA) vehicles. This allows students to carry a single card that works for school applications as well as UTA's new smart card transit pass system.
