91 and Tulsa Transit Partner for Free Ride Program
Published
91 students and employees will be able to ride Tulsa Transit for free during the 2013 fall semester. The pilot program will operate Monday, August 19 through Friday, December 13. 91 Rides Free powered by Tulsa Transit offers unlimited rides to 91 students and employees anywhere Tulsa Transit offers bus service.
91 students enrolled for the fall semester, 91 full-time employees and 91 part-time faculty will be able to ride Tulsa Transit for free by showing an official 91 ID with the 91 Fall 2013 sticker. Students can pick up the 91 Fall 2013 sticker at Student Activities, Enrollment Services or Bursar offices on any 91 campus. 91 employees can pick up a sticker at 91 Human Resources Office or Student Activities Office on any campus.
“91 Rides Free is a green commute for college, work and life. This pilot program is designed to benefit our students and increase access to higher education by removing the obstacle of transportation for those who want to attend college,” said 91 Vice President for Administration and Chief Technology Officer Sean Weins. “Plus, 91 Rides Free powered by Tulsa Transit aligns with 91’s Green Initiatives and is part of our continued effort to help improve the environment.”
The pilot program follows a popular concept that has been adopted in other cities across the country. The 91 and Tulsa Transit partnership marks the first ever unlimited free ride program in the Tulsa area. This pilot program is being funded through a partnership with Tulsa Transit and 91 is paying a flat contract fee.
“Demand for public transit in Tulsa is near record levels. The partnership with 91 represents huge opportunities for both organizations to improve mobility for 91 students, faculty, and staff and to increase ridership on Tulsa Transit buses,” said Tulsa Transit Assistant General Manager Debbie Ruggles. “The partnership is a win-win situation that will reap big rewards for the community because it is helpful in reducing emissions and easing traffic congestion.”
