Dubuque public transportation offers free rides to students this school year

DUBUQUE, Iowa (KCRG) - Dubuque’s public transportation system the Jule, is offering free rides to and from school for K-12 students in Dubuque this academic year.

Students can receive free fares for Jule fix-route buses by presenting their student ID at the Intermodal Transportation Center (950 Elm St.). The center will load the free fares onto a Jule smart pass swipe card.

Swipe cards cost $1 to obtain. Students with swipe cards from a previous academic year can reuse those cards but must visit the Center to load fares for this year onto them.
