Cuyahoga Community College and The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority will offer eligible Tri-C students a U-Pass for unlimited RTA rides during qualifying semesters.
“Through this agreement, Tri-C and RTA will benefit 30,000 students by increasing their access to classes and support services,” said Dr. Alex Johnson, Tri-C president. “This collaboration embodies our commitment to remove hurdles that may stand in the way of students’ success in their education.”
The initial 18-month program will launch with spring semester 2014 and include fall semester 2014 and spring semester 2015. The U-Pass will provide each registered student who has paid (or made payment arrangements) for one academic credit hour or more a semester-long unlimited ridership pass.
“We believe this agreement will increase our ridership and help establish a pattern of lifelong transit use and support by Tri-C students, “said Joseph Calabrese, general manager, RTA.
