Why a Transportation Fee?

On April 28, 2003, the Lane Community College Board of Education approved a non-refundable fee of $19 per quarter for main campus credit students and $5 per quarter for all other students. The fee provides bus passes at no additional charge for main campus credit students and helps fund parking lot improvements on the main campus and at the outreach centers. Beginning fall term 2004, ESL students taking classes at main campus or at the Downtown Center are also eligible for term bus passes. Several issues were considered by the Board:

• The college wanted to offer a reduced price for LTD passes for students.
• For several years the college has not had funds to maintain and improve parking lots - this has been a major source of complaints from students. Declining revenue from the state has aggravated the situation.
• The Transportation Fee will help the college provide relief for the current overcrowded parking situation.
• Ultimately, the college wants to move toward a cleaner environment by decreasing the number of vehicles on campus and getting staff and students to use LTD.
