The OC Bus Rewards Program allows you to earn points by riding OC Bus. You can later redeem those points for free OC Bus passes. You will earn 5 points for each trip you take with a qualifying OC Bus pass, plus you will earn points based on the type of OC Bus pass you activate and use on OC Bus. Once you have earned the qualifying number of points, you can redeem those points for free one-day and 30-day OC Bus passes.

For a list of points earned for each pass type, see the Earning Points section in the FAQs.

For a list of points required for redeeming free passes, see the Using Points section in the FAQs.
