Student transit pass is one of 2012 Sustainable Success Storiesawards event on Nov. 30The Mid-America Regional Council is honoring local projects or programs that set an example for creating sustainable places in the metro, including the U-Pass transit initiative at the University of Missouri–Kansas City. This popular program, which began in the fall of 2011, allows UMKC students to ride Metro buses by swiping their student ID. The service is paid for by a universal student fee, which is cheaper than buying a monthly bus pass. UMKC students have helped grow the Metro’s ridership and reduce on-campus parking demand. U-Pass is operated in partnership with the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority. Come learn more about U-Pass and the rest of this year's Sustainable Success Stories honorees. 2012 Sustainable Success Stories Event Sustainable Success Stories is part of an ongoing community dialogue focused on building a better understanding of sustainable practices that have the potential to transform our community into "America’s Green Region." By sharing local successes and challenges, we can enable community partners to learn about and replicate locally tailored, high-impact sustainability practices. |
