Metropass Replacing Current Monthly Transit Pass

The monthly passes that have been sold in the previous years will be discontinued as of September 1, 2009 and be replaced by the new Metropass Go-To Card. Order your Metropass card as soon as possible to ensure a smooth transition to the new pass. There will be a 2 -3 week delay between the time the application is filled out and the time the new Metropass cards are delivered. Fill out a Metropass application at the Enrollment service counters at Sverdrup 100 as soon as possible. If you still have time on your current monthly transit pass when your Metropass arrives you will be able to get a per day refund on the remaining days on the pass.

All Augsburg employees working 20 hours per week or greater are eligible to participate in the Metropass program. Participants must sign up for the pass for a contract year that begins this September 1st and goes through August 31, 2010. The cost of the pass is $38.00 per month and it will be automatically deducted (pre-tax) from participants pay. Each participant has the opportunity to renew their card during the last month of the contract year.

The Go-To cards are quicker to use on bus and trains and they also eliminate the need to go and purchase a monthly card at the service counter every month. The Go-To cards are good for light rail and buses, every day, all day including trips to some of the outlying suburbs. Additional cash will be needed for exceptionally long commutes outside the 7 county metro area. Participants must agree to participate for the contract year, allow their I.D. picture to be used on the Go-To card and participants must return the card to Human Resources when their employment at the college ends. The cash value cards will still be on sale at the Enrollment counter with the same 50% discount as before. If you need more information please call Tom Ruffaner @ Ext. 1641.
