Funding
The U-PASS annual budget is approximately $8.5 million. Funding for
the U-PASS comes from user fees, parking transfers, parking fines and other
University sources. User fees cover 48 percent of program costs.
The University’s contribution to the program, which comes from parking
fines and other UW sources, is just over $1 million per year. The
remainder of the revenue is transferred from the University’s parking system;
as part of the plan to help fund the U-PASS and discourage driving alone
to campus, parking fees have been increased significantly since 1990.
The U-PASS operating budget covers a variety of expenses. However,
at over $7.4 million, the largest single expenditure is transit service
contracts.
