Pronto 

College transit passes use the PRONTO system. Students can choose to use a physical PRONTO card or the PRONTO mobile app. (Students must choose either the card or the app; you cannot use both within the same semester.) PRONTO cards are available at the Student Accounting office on campus.  Students who want to use the mobile app should download the app and set up an account prior to purchasing their pass.

Get the PRONTO App by searching for "PRONTO San Diego" on Google Play or App Store.
