Move LA ED Denny Zane helped develop Santa Monica College's "Any Line, Any Time" program in 2008 and a survey done last year shows that 45% of students now arrive on campus by bus! Here are the reasons you should vote HERE in LA2050's crowd-funding faceoff for our proposal to work on a countywide universal student transit pass program:
•  Big increases in student transit ridership;
•  Big reductions in traffic around colleges and universities;
•  Students can save $2,000/year on cost of getting to school;
•  Reduced GHG emissions and air pollution;
•  Reduced demand for parking at/around schools so land can be used for educational purposes;
•  Students can also take transit to work and all destinations;
•  Students are incentivized to make decisions about where to live and work based on the proximity of transit;
•  Students might become transit riders for life;
•  Increased transit ridership makes LA even more likely to win federal transit funding;
•  LA County builds a transit-responsive culture!
