UW Tacoma Transportation Advisory Board

U-Pass Strategies

•Keep the cost of a student UPASS down by encouraging students to supporting a universal benefit to students.

•This has to be approved by students by student vote slated for April 16th through 27th. Should the vote not be approved by students, the cost of the U-Pass could double in price to cover expenses.

•If students are paying for something, they’re more likely to use it.

•Create less demand for parking on campus as students are more likely to use mass transit.

•Incentivizing sustainable transportation options.

•Decrease the campus carbon footprint.
