The students of Duquesne University request that the administration work with Port Authority Transportation to provide discounted or free bus fare to be included in the tuition fees. Many other colleges and universities in the area are provided with this service. As stated on the PAT website "The University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie MellonUniversity and Chatham Universityare members of Port Authority's U-Pass program. Their students, staff and faculty may ride any bus, T or the Mon Incline within any zone at any time just by using theirvalid, unexpireduniversity-issued ID card" and "Students, staff and faculty atCarlow University,Everest Institute, Point Park University and Robert Morris University are entitled to a discounted bus, T or Mon Incline farewithin Zone 1 during select days/timesby showing theirvalid, unexpiredschool-issued ID cards. The discounted fare is $1.00 one way". We propose that the Universitycollaborates with PAT to make either of these options available to Duquesne students.
I can hardly believe how fast this is moving through campus and seeing the sheer volume of people who are completely fed up with paying full fare feels like a massive weight off my shoulders. It really makes me think we might actually get someone in the administration to listen to us for once because honestly I was worried nobody else felt this frustrated.

Living off campus is way too expensive as it is. Getting to south side or downtown for work or groceries would be so much easier if we had this pass like pitt students do.

I agree we should have free bus fairs! Especially if using a bus as transportation is part of a class (service learning).
