University of Windsor faculty and staff members are eligible for the ValuPass program, which offers discounted passes from the municipal bus service Transit Windsor.
The monthly passes are available for $97, a 15 percent savings on the regular price of $115. Riders are encouraged to participate in the program for a minimum of six consecutive months.
To participate, follow three simple steps:
- Complete the UWindsor Employee signup form and send to sustainability@uwindsor.ca to join the program.
- Visit the Windsor International Transit Terminal (check hours of operation). Present documentation at the counter to confirm proof of employment with UWindsor, for example, a UWinID, and mention you are part of the ValuPass program. Transit Smart Card photo identification must be taken at the terminal, with a first-time cost of $1.10.
- Purchase your monthly transit pass and enjoy a 15 per cent discount — and your travels.
“We’re thrilled to re-introduce the ValuPass program to our faculty and staff, offering an exciting avenue for a more sustainable commute,” says sustainability officer Nadia Harduar.
She points to the recently released Sustainability Framework and its call for “supporting active transportation systems” as a way to meet the strategic objective of reducing the institution’s environmental footprint.
