UC San Diego Transit and Shuttle Funding Issues
Fall Quarter 2009
Existing Conditions
• In FY 2008/09, Transit and Shuttle programs cost $6.9 million and transported approximately 4.8 million passenger trips
• Increased transit and shuttle ridership has been largely responsible for reducing solo vehicle commuting from 66% in 2001 to 46% in 2009
• 87% of shuttle and transit funding is provided by parking and citation revenues
• Unless additional funding is secured, transit and shuttle service cuts will be necessary

Student Transit Fee
• Nationally, student transportation fees are the most common and effective means of funding university transit and shuttle programs
• Student transit fees are good for sustainability and create a dedicated revenue source to ensure continued operation of transit and shuttle services
• User fees are less effective as they result in declining ridership and revenue
• Student ratepayer board would be created to administer and allocate fee revenue
