Students, Faculty, and Staff Ride for Free on SunRail During College Week 2024 

SANFORD, Fla. – SunRail is excited to announce the return of College Week, running from Monday, September 16, through Friday, September 20, 2024. This year, SunRail invites students, faculty, and staff from SunRail station-friendly Central Florida colleges and universities to take advantage of free rides on all trains and at all stations throughout the week. 

SunRail’s College Week offers students and employees of participating Central Florida colleges and universities the opportunity to ride SunRail for free. Whether commuting to campus, exploring Central Florida, or enjoying a leisure trip, this initiative is designed to build ridership by allowing participants to experience the convenience of SunRail. 

Eligible participants include students and employees from the following Central Florida institutions: 

  • University of Central Florida (UCF)
  • Rollins College
  • FAMU College of Law
  • Valencia College
  • Stetson University
  • Seminole State College
  • AdventHealth University
  • Florida State College of Medicine
  • Orange Technical College

 Communication to students and employees of the participating institutions will take place from September 9 to September 20, 2024, through various channels including emails, flyer handouts, newsletters, social media, SunRail.com, and the SunRail app. 

To participate, riders simply need to show a valid ID from a Central Florida college or university to the SunRail conductor in place of a SunCard or SunRail ticket. This will allow them to ride for free during College Week.
