The 7C Transportation Working Group is developing a plan to bring Los Angeles Metro’s U-Pass, a reduced-fare transit pass, to the 5Cs. The group said the program would expand student opportunities and reduce car dependency.
The group — composed of students from the Claremont Urbanists, a club for urban planning, and the Associated Students of Pomona College (ASPC) Sustainability Committee — is advocating for the colleges to enroll in a pilot plan in which The Claremont Colleges Services (TCCS) would purchase U-Pass from LA Metro to give students who pay a one-time $2 fee unlimited rides across a network of 10 transit agencies.

City limits: No, Claremont’s $2.50 Uber rides haven’t gone away — yet.
The era of students piling into city subsidized Ubers for under three dollars might be coming to a close. The program, Claremont Dial-a-Ride, which has provided waivers within Uber is facing challenges and cuts from the Pomona Valley Transportation Authority and Claremont City council due to ballooning costs from rampant student use.
