President’s Cabinet continues UPASS program for faculty, staff

The President’s Cabinet has approved the continuation of the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority’s University Pass (UPASS) program for Salve Regina and Sodexo faculty and staff.

The UPASS program allows employees to travel on RIPTA trolleys or buses for free statewide by swiping their Salve Regina ID in the upper right-hand corner of the RIPTA e-fare box.

Initiated in spring 2011 on a trial basis, the program supports the University’s green initiative and is an effort to acknowledge and respond to the needs of employees experiencing increasing financial hardships associated with rising transportation costs.

Trolley and bus schedules are available in the Office of Safety and Security, the Office of Campus Life, Miley Hall, Wakehurst and the O’Hare Academic Center.
