This morning PSU Transportation and Parking Services sent an email to the entire PSU community announcing Portland Streetcar riders could no longer use a PSU ID to ride the streetcar and would have to go to Parking Services to get a pass, and that that pass would cost $10/month commencing October 1, 2017.
This is not correct for PSU-AAUP members!
The University telephoned PSU-AAUP soon after the email to advise that they did not have the capability to send out segmented emails, apologized, and asked that we send out this correction.
For PSU-AAUP bargaining unit Members:
PSU-AAUP bargaining unit members will continue to have access to Portland Streetcar at no cost. If you need a Portland Streetcar pass, a PSU-paid pass is available at PSU Transportation and Parking Services. Please inform the staff that you are a PSU-AAUP bargaining unit member and they will provide you with a free monthly pass.
*IMPORTANT*
YOU MUST IDENTIFY YOURSELF AS A PSU-AAUP BARGAINING UNIT MEMBER TO GET THE FREE PASS!
The free Streetcar pass is temporary- the University has an obligation to maintain the status quo while discussions continue between administration and PSU-AAUP about the Portland Streetcar. As such, the University has proposed to PSU-AAUP that PSU-AAUP members pay $10/month commencing November 1, 2017.
We will report out as discussions and decisions progress.
