Universal Bus Pass Referendum Vote : October 4-8, 2021

“What is the Universal Bus Pass (UPass)?”

The UPass provides all University of Guelph main campus students with affordable transportation to campus, downtown, and the greater City of Guelph. The UPass is sold at a significantly lower rate than the City of Guelph Post-secondary Semester Bus Pass. The previous UPass contract, which was negotiated for a five-year term, expired on April 30, 2021. 
 

“What is the referendum question asking?”

The referendum will be asking if students support the negotiated Universal Bus Pass fee for all University of Guelph, main campus, full-time and part-time, undergraduate and graduate students, effective January 1, 2022.
Please visit the GSA UPass news release to read the official preamble and question, including the terms of the proposed UPass.
 

“When and where can I vote?”

Electronic ballots will be sent to all student’s University of Guelph email accounts on October 4. Voting will run from October 4-8, 2021.
