Parking & Transportation

Kapi‘olani Community College embraces our kuleana in a shared commitment to encourage our campus community to make the most environmentally responsible choices when traveling to and from campus.

Of course, students and faculty are free to drive and park their vehicles on campus, but please consider alternative means of transportation when planning your commute. Your options include TheBus, The Waikīkī Trolley, The Handi-Van, car sharing, carpooling, biking, and walking. We all live on this one island home and the ʻāina must be respected as well as cherished.

Transportation Options

U-Pass/HOLO Card

    TheBus/City & County of Honolulu University Bus Pass (U-PASS) Program — The U-PASS is no longer a sticker that goes on your ID card. Your student ID will now be a HOLO card that needs to be activated every semester that you are eligible for/purchase the UPASS.

    Cost: $40 per semester and is a mandatory student fee for all students taking in-person and/or hybrid courses.

    Current high school students, seniors, or students with disabilities are able to apply for a waiver (email) if they already have a valid U-Pass.

    All sales final. NO REFUNDS. CASH ONLY.

    The U-PASS is NON-TRANSFERABLE and the College assumes no responsibility for loss, theft, destruction or misplacement of this pass. The fee for a replacement U-PASS is $40, regardless of when it is replaced during the semester.

    Valid Dates: Covering specified five months of each semester

    • Fall = August 1 thru January 15
    • Spring = January 1 thru May 31
    • Summer = May 1 thru August 31, $135 (subject to change)
