News from the CU system - UC Denver

Auraria Campus students approve RTD pass program

Auraria Campus Students went to the polls March 31 and April 1 and collectively voted in favor of an extension of the bus and light rail pass program.

The extension runs from Aug. 23, 2010, through Aug. 21, 2011.
Students at the three higher education institutions — the University of Colorado Denver, Metropolitan State College of Denver and Community College of Denver — accounted for 3,514 votes cast. Of these votes, 3,326, or 94.6 percent, were in favor of continuing the program and increasing the fee. A total of 188 votes, or 5.4 percent of the voters, were against continuing the program and increasing the fee.

The voting breakdown:

The Referendum Election Commission met on the morning of April 2 in accordance with the election code and, having not received any petitions or disputes, has declared the vote valid.

Pending final approval for instituting the fee from the three institutional governing boards, the fee will go into effect in fall 2010. Estimated cost of the RTD student pass program continuation is not to exceed $61 per student, per semester, including institutional collection fees, for the 2010-11 academic year.
