Reimbursed Ride Home

Faculty and staff who experience an emergency and whose usual transportation is unavailable when they must leave campus can call a taxi cab and be reimbursed for 90 percent of the fare up to 50 miles per quarter.  In 1997-98, an average of seven faculty and staff used the program each month.  The average number of participants has declined over the years, but average trip length has risen slightly and average fare paid has seen a 44 percent increase.  The number of passengers represent just 0.1 percent of the faculty/staff U-PASS holders.
