Jule Bus Fares Waived for Dubuque College Students
Students attending Dubuque's colleges will be able to ride The Jule, Dubuque's public transit system, for free this school year.
This will be the second consecutive year that local college students are able to ride Jule buses at no cost. Previously, college students had been charged the adult fare of $1.50 per ride. The elimination of fares for college students will provide an additional opportunity for students to travel around Dubuque for shopping, entertainment, dining, recreation, and jobs.
To take advantage of the free rides, college students will be required to display a valid school ID for the 2024-25 school year.
The free rides will be available for students attending the following Dubuque institutions:
- Capri College
- Clarke University
- Emmaus Bible College
- Loras College
- Northeast Iowa Community College
- University of Dubuque
- Wartburg Theological Seminary
In addition to offering free rides for college students, K-12 students are also able to ride the Jule at no charge. Students in 6th-12th grades must present a valid school ID to be eligible for the free bus rides.
Additional information about The Jule, including route schedules, maps, and bus tracking tools are available through the MyJule app and by visiting www.cityofdubuque.org/Jule
