The Associated Student of the University of Montana 1 Resolution Regarding ASUM Transportation Fee 2 March 15, 2010 3 Senate Bill SB24-09/10 4 Authored by: Patrick Rhea, ASUM Senator 5 John Wilke, ASUM Senator 6 Sponsored by : Austin James, ASUM Senator 7 Ashleen Williams, ASUM Senator 8  9  10 Whereas, all students, even those taking less than seven credits, need to access campus 11 and currently utilize ASUM Office of Transportation (ASUMOT) bus services; 12 Whereas all students benefit from the other services of ASUMOT including bike 13 ambassadors, cruiser coop, bike parking, semester bikes, trip planning on Mountain Line, 14 rideshare services, incentives, etc.; 15  Whereas, all students benefit from those that take the bus by reduced congestion and 16 cleaner air on campus; 17 Whereas, ASUMOT is experiencing overcrowding on buses and currently operates 18 busses that need replacement; 19 Whereas, requiring all students to pay the ASUM Transportation Fee will approximately 20 affect 770 students and raise $40,000; 21  22 Whereas, without ASUMOT, the University of Montana would have to invest heavily in 23 more parking.  This would cost students more out of pocket and reduce campus green 24 space; 25  26 Whereas, to meet demand and to keep buses repaired, ASUMOT needs all students to pay 27 the fee; 28  29 Therefore, Let It Be Resolved that the Associated Students of the University of Montana 30 (ASUM) supports a fee the inclusion of part-time students at The University of Montana 31 for the ASUM Transportation Fee.  All part-time students taking fewer than seven (7) 32 credits will pay one half (50%) of the Transportation Fee paid by full-time students; to all 33 students at the University of Montana taking one or more credits; 34  35 Let It Be Further Resolved that this fee inclusion will go into effect for the fall semester 36 of 2010; 37  38 Let It Be Further Resolved that the ASUM Office of Transportation will work to exclude 39 distance learning and student teachers from this fee inclusion provided that they are 40 taking less than 7 credits.  41  42  43 Passed by Committee: __________________________________, 2010 44  45 Passed by Senate: ______________________________________, 2010  46  47  48  49  50 ___________________________    ____________________________  51 Andrew Dusek,     Emily May, 52 Relations and Affairs Chair      Chair of the Senate 53
