I wanted faculty/staff to be aware of policy changes regarding the GoPass program which is sponsored by NCSU Transportation and allows NC State faculty/staff and Centennial Campus affiliates to ride City (CAT) and regional (TT) buses.  This year's GoPass expires on August 13, 2012. 
 
Faculty/Staff are eligible to purchase GoPass online at Transportation's website - www.ncsu.edu/transportation begnning in early July for an annual $25 pre-paid fee - major credit cards accepted ($25 charge equates to about 5 - 12 round-trip rides on CAT or TT). A great value! Faculty/Staff GoPasses will be mailed to the home address specified at time of online order.  GoPass is valid from August 4, 2012 - August 3, 2013 and is renewed annually. 

Note:  An additional $5 "rush order" fee will be charged to Faculty/Staff who opt to walk in and pick up GoPass from the NCSU Transportation office. 

The following information was sent out by the "Team Sustainability" here at NCSU for Earth Day...
