We are excited to announce that the University of Minnesota Twin Cities has been honored with the 2024 Apex Award for Innovation in a Mobility, Transportation, or Parking Program by the International Parking & Mobility Institute (IPMI). This award recognizes our Universal and Employee Transit Pass programs.
About the Universal and Employee Transit Pass Programs
Launched as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance campus mobility and reduce our carbon footprint, the Universal and Employee Transit Pass programs provide unlimited access to public transit for eligible students and staff. This initiative not only promotes the use of sustainable transportation but also alleviates parking congestion on campus, contributing to a more efficient and eco-friendly environment.
Key Benefits of the Programs
- Unlimited Transit Access: All eligible students and employees can enjoy unlimited rides on local public transit, making commuting more affordable and convenient.
- Sustainability: By encouraging public transit use, we are significantly reducing our carbon emissions and supporting the fight against climate change.
- Cost Savings: The program helps our community save on transportation costs, making education and work at the university more accessible.
We are proud of this recognition and remain dedicated to improving the transportation experience for our university community. Thank you to everyone who has supported and utilized the Universal and Employee Transit Pass programs!
