First Day Guided Trip: To help you get familiar with the route, I will be waiting at the Euclid Av & E 115th St Station at approximately 8:40 AM on our first day of class. If you would like a guide, please meet me there, and we will ride the RTA bus to the IML together.

Enrollment at CIA includes an RTA pass for students. While you are not required to take the RTA bus, it is a highly recommended and convenient option. If you plan to ride the RTA, you must get the RTA bus pass sticker and place it on your student ID. You will need this sticker to ride the bus. Get the sticker from Student Affairs Office   external link at CIA before the first day of class.
