Proposed fare
raise bypasses
bus riders
Inflation has bypassed
students riding the
intercampus shuttle bus:
this year they still will pay
10 cents . per ride-the same
rate as when the service
began in 1962. ;
Ray Coffey, assistant to
Business and Finance Vice
Chancellor Miles
Tommeraasen, said last
spring's proposal to raise the
fare to 25 cents was
dropped after students
needing the bus to travel to
classes on both East and
City Campus, or who lived
near East Campus, objected.
Instead, Coffey said
Tommeraasen decided to
continue subsidizing the
system, since he said the
fare charge covers only
one-fourth to one-third of
the operation's cost.
. UNL pays the Lincoln
Transportation System
(LTS) a flat rate per hour
for providing bus service,
Coffey said. This has risen
67 per cent in the last two
years, he said. ,
The business office hopes
to receive an appropriation
from the Legislature to pay
the rest of the cost, Coffey
said.
If no money is
forthcoming this year, t
will have to be cut from
somewhere else" according
to John Duve, campus,
police parking and traffic
coordinator.
There no longer will be
an all-year bus pass given
away with the sale of
parking stickers because
parking at the State
Fairgrounds is being
eliminated, Duve said.
"The costs of busing
very few people to campus
from the fairgrounds were
too high," Duve said. He
said UNL- paid nearly
$25,000 annually from
parking fees to support one
bus running the shuttle, and
said Campus Police found
that about 25 cars were
using State Fairgrounds
parking each hour.
Duve. said the decline in
students using Fairgrounds
parking stemmed from a
decline in enrollment and an
increase in the amount of
dn-campus parking,
especially since the
construction of the
card-operated lot on 14th
and Avery Ave.
Another factor in
eliminating fairgrounds
parking is the desire of the
Parking Advisory Board to
"get away from parking fees
supporting the intercampus
bus system," Duve said, iie
said $75,000 in parking fees
were used to support the
system last year.
He said UNL still will
offer a $15 annual bus pass
for students without
parking permits, and a $1
pass good for 1 2 rides. '
