What are the benefits of a U-Pass program?
U-Pass programs offer students a way to lower their transportation costs while at school and also benefit the local community and the environment. U-Pass programs can • Facilitate transit service improvements to the institution. • Reduced traffic congestion around the campus and local community. • Help reduce emissions. • Reduce demand for parking facilities (less resources spent on building parking facilities). Ideally, U-Pass programs are an element in a municipality’s or an educational institution’s transportation demand management (TDM) program.
