The information collected through this survey will be shared with the Transit office to meet the transit needs of UMBC's graduate students.<br><br>Here's the link to the survey: <a href="https://forms.gle/P4zZ4uiDfrxxhUYc7" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"> https://forms.gle/P4zZ4uiDfrxxhUYc7</a></div><div><br>In case of queries, matters of special assistance or in emergency situations, you can always reach out to the Transit office directly through following mediums:<br><ul><li><strong>Email ID</strong>: <a href="mailto:transit@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">transit@umbc.edu</a></li><li><strong>Contact#</strong>: 410-455-2454<br></li></ul>UMBC Transit has also worked with the Off-Campus Student Service (OCSS) to provide discounted travel to UMBC students on MTA buses through the <a href="https://www.mta.maryland.gov/all-access-college-transit-pass" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">CharmPass App</a>.
