Off-Campus Transportation

Saint Louis University's Parking, Card and Transportation Services offers specials, discounts and recommendations for students, faculty and staff looking for off-campus transportation. 

MetroLink

The nearest MetroLink train station is the Grand Station, between Saint Louis University's north campus and the SLU Medical Center on Grand Boulevard. Find your best route to and from SLU and plan your trip by visiting Metro's online Trip Finder or by downloading the Transit app available in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. 

Discounts for Non-Resident Students, Faculty and Staff

Full-time students who do not live on campus and are 23 or younger can purchase a pass at the discounted rate of $175 per semester. You will need to provide a valid student ID and proof of age. A semester pass can only be purchased for the fall or the spring semester. There is no summer semester pass offered by Metro. You can also purchase a monthly Metro pass for $78.

Pre-tax Metro passes are also available to full-time faculty and staff through payroll deduction. Employees making under $40,060 per year who purchase passes through the Office of Parking, Card and Transportation Services are eligible for a $100 subsidy over a year of Metro passes.
