BCIT STUDENT ASSOCIATION’S RESPONSE TO THE U-PASS BC TRANSIT PROGRAM

The BCIT Student Association (BCITSA) welcomes the opportunity to be a part of U-Pass BC Transit Program now open to all publicly funded post-secondary institutions.  We will be working with BCIT students and the Institute to determine our best plan moving ahead and to see if this program is a good fit or will work for BCIT students. 

We will be working diligently over the next couple of months to acquire student input and prepare the required student referendum to determine BCIT’s participation in the U-Pass. 

At this time we do not know if only full-time students will be eligible for the monthly transit pass for $30.00 instead of the current $81.00 or if this can be opened to part-time students as well.  We will be working with Translink and the Institute to receive more detailed information.

Please keep an eye on our FAQ for more details as they become available.
