MCC and MAT are teaming up with Pass to Class, a pilot program to encourage bus ridership with MCC students. This exciting new program allows all MCC credit students a MAT bus pass valid for a quarter that allows for rides to and from MCC locations and for other education-related purposes.

The program was started to help both MCC and MAT. MCC students will have increased access to classes and locations and decreased parking congestion, and MCC will be able to study student travel patterns. MAT will look at ridership patterns and increase their passengers. At the same time, this program will help reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips and decrease emissions into the environment.

Rules of Use

• The Pass to Class will be used for getting to and from MCC locations and for other education-related purposes.
• The Pass to Class is to be used only by the student enrolled in credit classes at MCC. Use by someone other than the enrolled participant may result in termination from the program. Passes may not be transferred between individuals and will be deactivated upon voluntary or involuntary disenrollment from MCC classes.
• All MAT rules and regulations must be followed. Failure to abide by the MAT rules and regulations may result in termination from the program.

Who Is Eligible?

Any MCC student enrolled in credit classes are eligible for a Pass to Class good for the quarter of enrollment.

Where Can Passes Be Picked Up?

The passes can be picked up at any MCC Student Services at any time during the quarter.

How Long Are the Passes Usable?

The bus cards are valid for one quarter; they will no longer work after the last day of class of the quarter.

What Happens If the Pass Is Lost

If a Pass to Class bus pass is lost, a replacement can be picked up at any Student Services and the old card will be deactivated.
