Hello All,

I just received an email from Dr. van Pelt, Pasadena City College's Vice President of Administrative Services and it looks as if the Bus Pass Program will be implemented for Spring, pending approval by PCC's Board of Trustees.

We need all students to come out to the Board of Trustee’s meeting this WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17TH to push the program through. THE MEETING WILL BE HELD IN THE CAMPUS CENTER ON THE SECOND FLOOR IN CREVELING LOUNGE. THE MEETING BEGINS AT 7 PM.

PLEASE PASS THIS INFORMATION ALONG TO EVERY PCC STUDENT YOU KNOW, ENCOURAGE THEM TO BE THERE, AND MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT IN YOUR CLASSES AND CLUBS.

See the information below to learn more about what the Bus Pass Program can do for you and your fellow PCC students.

The Program will promote Bus Ridership which will in turn has the potential to improve the parking situation, reduce traffic, reduce PCC's Carbon footprint, and SAVE STUDENTS LOTS OF MONEY in transportation costs.

In negotiating with METRO, it looks as if we will be able to provide all full-time students with a BUS PASS (in the form of a sticker affixed to a student ID) which can be used ANY DAY OF THE WEEK to ride practically ANY METRO LINE IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY and will be GOOD FOR THE ENTIRE SPRING SEMESTER STARTING MARCH 1st.

Because we do not yet have a student activity fee, the Associated Students cannot yet fund the program. As a result, it looks as if the School will be funding it for the initial semester pending Board of Trustee’s approval. Although with a student activity fee we hope the program will be nearly free or reduced in price even further, there will likely be a small charge (Between $20 and $40) for the pass this initial semester so the school can get its money back. This is still a EXTREME SAVINGS as the MINIMUM that some students can obtain a METRO pass for, for the entire semester would be between $140 to $240!!!

Please let me know if you have any questions or need any further information.

Oh, and please send an email to chiefjusticemichaellance@gmail.com with your name, ID number, and a quick statement of support, if you think this program should be approved.

Thank you all and I hope to see you there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sincerely,

Michael Lance
