The current DASB promised that they will provide a bus pass for all De Anza Students once they get elected.
We voted for them, they got elected, it went in their transcript, but the bus pass...

Hey Ben,

We definitely did commit ourselves to have Eco-Passes.

It turns out that according to Letha Jean Pierre, VP of Finance and Educational Resources of De Anza College, that it would not be financially responsible to purchase Eco-Passes from the Valley Transportation Association since the majority students who currently utilize the public transit are: not full time nor even at a high amount that would be beneficial for the larger student body. The majority of students are commuters who come from all over the South Bay, some living outside of the county in which the VTA is only accessible to.

But there is still hope to attaining these Eco-Passes. There is research that is currently being conducted to have Eco-Passes attainable to all of the students. This proposal is being developed and it is being collaborated district wide with our sister college Foothill.

We want to have Eco-Passes for our students, especially for our low-income students, our environmental advocates, and as well as anyone who utilizes this public resource. Since you seem frustrated, if you would like to contribute to our project by participating your time it would be deeply appreciated.

Sincerely,
Marlo A. Custodio
