The addition of the graduate students from the Graduate College, College of Pharmacy, and School of Public Health started in fall 2002. On August 5th 2004, the Regional Transit Authority Board approved an agreement for Pace buses to accept all CTA fare cards, including the U-PASS. This was discontinued January 1, 2009. The renewal of the U-PASS program and nonrefundable CTA transportation fee included undergraduate students and graduate students from the Graduate College, College of Pharmacy, School of Public Health, and Doctorate of Physical Therapy program, as well as the addition of College of Dentistry students and the M1 and M2 students from the College of Medicine beginning fall 2005. College of Medicine students voted 72% in favor of having the U-PASS available to all classes beginning summer 2007. Every year the students must vote on a referendum each April to approve the U-PASS for the following year. It continues to have strong support. The student U-PASS program has been a successful application of a transit program to assist in student mobility. Table 3 shows the frequency distribution of rides taken per semester using U-PASS. More than 60 percent of UIC U-PASS users are “moderate intensity users” who ride the transit system between 32 and 106 times per semester. About 18% are “high intensity users” who ride the system 106 times per semester. Only 5% of U-PASS holders are non-users (never used the transit system at all during a semester). 16
