Whether you're new to Pittsburgh, planning a weekend out, or just want to explore — your free transit pass gets you anywhere in the city, and the Arts Pass gets you into eight museums for free. No car, no cover charges, no membership required.
Year-round recreational leagues and tournaments (flag football, soccer, basketball, softball, and more) open to the campus community across all skill levels.
Open to full-time students, faculty/staff, and spouses/partners. Register teams or join as a free agent online.
Enrolled CMU students get free general admission to eight Pittsburgh cultural venues just by showing their student ID, including all four Carnegie Museums.
Carnegie Museum of Art, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Carnegie Science Center, The Andy Warhol Museum, Mattress Factory, National Aviary, Phipps Conservatory, and Heinz History Center. Present valid CMU ID at the door.
CMU's contemporary art institute presents free exhibitions and public programming in the Purnell Center for the Arts on campus.
No admission fee. Gallery is periodically closed between exhibitions, so check the site for hours.
CMU degree-seeking students and benefits-eligible faculty and staff ride PRT buses, light rail, and inclines free with unlimited monthly passes, now via the Ready2Ride app.
Flagship perk. As of 2026 access is via the Ready2Ride app (set up with an @andrew.cmu.edu email), not the CMU ID.
Free late-night shuttle for CMU students and benefits-eligible faculty and staff, running campus to the Oakland, Shadyside, and Squirrel Hill neighborhoods, 6:30 p.m.–4:15 a.m.
Formerly the evening escort shuttle. Valid CMU ID required; track buses via the TripShot app.
