HSR Universal Transit Pass (U-Pass)
Beginning September 2021, the MSA PRESTO bus pass is back for all full-time students!
All full-time students at Mohawk College receive a 4-month unlimited PRESTO bus pass for the Hamilton Street Railway (HSR) for each semester they are enrolled. This service is provided by the Mohawk Students' Association (MSA). The pass allows you to ride the HSR anywhere, anytime throughout the city.
If you do NOT already have a Presto card, you can book an appointment to pick yours up at the campus you attend. Pick up starts August 23rd 2021 and you’ll need to bring your ONE Card with you.
If you already have a Presto card, you can activate it by following these steps:
#1: Select your course timetable.
#2: Open your Mohawk email to access your voucher code (there may be a delay in codes being sent out).
#3: Create a Presto account: www.prestocard.ca/en.
#4: Redeem your voucher!
Your card won’t be active until 24 hours after you’ve hit ‘Submit’.
Students who experience financial difficulties (including transit) are advised to contact either the International area or Financial Assistance so that a staff member can work with them to understand their circumstances and provide the best advice and funding resources. Students can email financialassistance [at] mohawkcollege.ca.
Once you have selected your timetable, you can pick up your PRESTO card at the following locations at your campus:
| Campus | Pick-Up Locations |

| Fennell Campus |
MSA Office (Room G109) |
| Stoney Creek Campus |
