THE PERALTA EASYPASS REFERENDUM
"Save over $1,000 a year! Get Peralta's EasyPass"-Peralta EasyPass Flyer
Proposition A extends the Peralta EasyPass program that gives students discounted bus service with AC Transit. It is necessary since the one-year pilot program will expire summer 2009.
About Proposition A
Since fall 2008, full-time Peralta College students gained access to discounted semester-long unlimited ride passes with AC Transit for just $50 per semester (compared to 31-day ride passes that cost $116). The program, called “Peralta EasyPass” was paid for by the Peralta Colleges, who paid $500,000 to AC Transit for the one year program.
Because the EasyPass pilot program was just a one-year trial, on April 28-29, we need to pass this measure to keep transportation affordable for students.
Voting YES on Proposition A does three things:
o Gives all students with nine units or more unlimited rides on all AC Transit
o Save students time and money
o Encourages use of public transportation, while reducing carbon emissions
