You can pay using coins, $1 bills, or the Token Transit app. All University of Illinois students, faculty, and staff ride MTD by showing their University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign i-Card. Others may be eligible for fare-free or reduced-fare transportation on MTD via DASH card, Veteran Pass, Unit 4 or District 116 school pass, or student token.
