Theres yet one more benefit to being a USFSP Bull: Beginning this week, students, faculty and staff can ride any of 200 Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) busses - for free. USFSP riders may now simply show their University ID card when boarding the bus, thanks to PSTAs Universal Pass, or U-Pass, program. With the U-Pass program, USFSP pays a flat rate to provide unlimited access to busses and trolleys for students and employees, said Joe Trubacz, regional vice chancellor of Administration and Finance. Its a huge financial benefit for our commuter students, in particular. And lets face it, fewer cars on the road benefits us all. This is a wonderful way to underscore USFSPs commitment to sustainability, added Jennifer Winter, sustainability coordinator. The gas savings alone are incredible, even with the most fuel-efficient cars. Busses stop regularly at USFSP, on 6th Avenue near the Butterfly Garden. Trolleys travel downtown several times an hour. For a schedule, just TEXT 414-11 or visit ridepsta.net.
