Vote YES for Proposition A- The Easy Pass program.
Pay just $31, and you get a semester long AC Transit bus pass (that normally costs $116 a month). You'll save $696 each semester!
Proposition A extends and expands the popular Peralta EasyPass program that gives full-time students discounted bus service with AC Transit. This vote is necessary since the one-year pilot program will expire summer 2009.
In 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).
In fall 2008, Peralta students saved a combined amount of over half a million dollars, compared to the regular price for AC Transit's 31-day transbay pass.The program, called “Peralta EasyPass” was initially paid for by the Peralta Colleges, which paid $500,000 to AC Transit for the one year trial program to test its popularity. Because the EasyPass pilot program was just a one-year trial, on April 28-29, students need to pass this measure to keep transportation affordable for students.
Prop A expands the EasyPass program to all students taking 9 or more units (as opposed to the current program that is only open to students will 11 or more units.)
On Tuesday April 28 & Wednesday April 29, elections will be held at the Peralta Colleges from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Vote Yes on Proposition A!
