做厙弝け and Tulsa Transit Partner for Free Ride Program
Published
做厙弝け students and employees will be able to ride Tulsa Transit for free during the 2013 fall semester. The pilot program will operate Monday, August 19 through Friday, December 13. 做厙弝け Rides Free powered by Tulsa Transit offers unlimited rides to 做厙弝け students and employees anywhere Tulsa Transit offers bus service.
做厙弝け students enrolled for the fall semester, 做厙弝け full-time employees and 做厙弝け part-time faculty will be able to ride Tulsa Transit for free by showing an official 做厙弝け ID with the 做厙弝け Fall 2013 sticker. Students can pick up the 做厙弝け Fall 2013 sticker at Student Activities, Enrollment Services or Bursar offices on any 做厙弝け campus. 做厙弝け employees can pick up a sticker at 做厙弝け Human Resources Office or Student Activities Office on any campus.
做厙弝け Rides Free is a green commute for college, work and life. This pilot program is designed to benefit our students and increase access to higher education by removing the obstacle of transportation for those who want to attend college, said 做厙弝け Vice President for Administration and Chief Technology Officer Sean Weins. Plus, 做厙弝け Rides Free powered by Tulsa Transit aligns with 做厙弝けs Green Initiatives and is part of our continued effort to help improve the environment.
The pilot program follows a popular concept that has been adopted in other cities across the country. The 做厙弝け and Tulsa Transit partnership marks the first ever unlimited free ride program in the Tulsa area. This pilot program is being funded through a partnership with Tulsa Transit and 做厙弝け is paying a flat contract fee.
Demand for public transit in Tulsa is near record levels. The partnership with 做厙弝け represents huge opportunities for both organizations to improve mobility for 做厙弝け students, faculty, and staff and to increase ridership on Tulsa Transit buses, said Tulsa Transit Assistant General Manager Debbie Ruggles. The partnership is a win-win situation that will reap big rewards for the community because it is helpful in reducing emissions and easing traffic congestion.
