²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù and VIA Come together for U-Pass Program
New Partnership Allows for More Mobility Options
San Antonio, August 9, 2019 – Getting to, from and around the multiple San Antonio locations of the ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù (²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù) just got a little easier with a new partnership between ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù and VIA. The two local entities have come together to offer the VIA U-Pass, which will give ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù students, faculty and staff access to unlimited bus rides on VIA throughout the city.
“We are excited and grateful for this great partnership and this valuable opportunity for our current ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù family,” says Dr. David Jurenovich, vice president for Campus Life and Facilities Management. “One of the founding principles in our Mission at ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù is care for the environment. VIA has a proven history of sharing that forward-thinking vision. This partnership gives our ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù family more affordable access and another choice in transportation.”
The process to take part in the program is easy and efficient. Participants will need to download VIA’s goMobile app onto their iPhone or Android phone. They will then receive additional instructions via email.
“The VIA U-Pass program provides access to free and convenient transportation for thousands of college and university students, faculty and staff in the San Antonio region,” VIA President/CEO Jeffrey C. Arndt said. “This partnership connects ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù to the entire VIA system and offers alternatives that are convenient, cost-efficient and energy-smart. We applaud the leadership of ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù for providing their campus community with this important resource.”
