The cost avoided value for students is $65, the cost of the monthly unlimited pass. Over the ten-month academic year, this adds up to a savings of $650 per student.  The departments funding the program are paying $5 per student, per year. 

The year-long pilot program (2017-2018) was funded by the Office of the Vice Chancellor of Administration & Finance, Green Action Fund, National Student Exchange, Office of Diversity and Inclusion, Office of Student Activities, Parking & Transportation Services, Disability Services, Service Learning & Community Engagement (SLICE), Office of Sustainability.

In Spring 2018 students approved language for including bus passes to be sources from the Parking and Safety Fee and in August 2018, the College Bus Program became official. UCCS pays $5 per student per semester and $2.50 for the summer.

The replacement fee is $15 and this covers our cost of the card, printing, and administration. Just like a credit card, you are only allowed to have one valid card at a time. The replacement fee is waived if you bring your damaged or weathered card with you to the Info Desk. 

Just like a credit card, you are only allowed to have one valid card at a time. We will take care of permanently deactivating your previous pass and assigning your new pass.
