Community colleges: students: public transportation: Los Angeles Community College District.

Summary

The bill would allow students in the Los Angeles Community College District to receive a complimentary GoPass TAP card for LA Metro rides if they opt in during enrollment, and it would establish a student ambassador program to assist with safety, rider information, and station upkeep on routes serving the campuses. It appropriates $2.5 million—$1 million for the college district and $1.5 million for LA Metro—to develop and run both programs, and it requires an annual memorandum of understanding and yearly reporting to state finance officials. The goal is to lower transportation costs for students, promote transit use, and improve security on public transportation.
