Metro pass renewal required

The fall U-Pass, allowing WUSTL community members free use of Metro, the region’s public transportation system, will expire Dec. 31. Benefits-eligible employees may request a spring 2007 U-Pass. Full-time students who have completed registration for the spring semester may request a pass beginning Dec. 1.

To apply for a no-charge spring pass, visit the Parking and Transportation Services Web site at parking.wustl.edu.

This program, funded by the University, provides benefits-eligible faculty and staff, full-time students and full-time employees of basic service contractors a Universal Metro Pass that allows free boarding of any Metro bus or MetroLink light-rail system train.

New for the spring renewal process is the option of picking up requested passes at a distribution center. The Danforth Campus distribution center will be open 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Dec. 11-13 at the Mallinckrodt Student Center. Requests made by Dec. 8 qualify for the express line at the distribution center.

The Medical Campus distribution center will be open 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Dec. 4-6 at the Olin Residence Hall gym, 4550 Scott Ave. Requests made by Dec. 1 qualify for the express line.
