- Bring your valid school I.D. and $35.00 (cash, credit or money order) replacement fee to the CTA Customer Service. The $35.00 fee is non-refundable.
- CTA will replace lost or stolen cards only once per academic term.
- All replacement cards are sent to the school within 5-7 business days after the request.
