How is Transit funded?
Transit services are funded by allocations from the University Advancement Fee.
Knowing that unlimited service to all areas of College Station/Bryan is not economically practical, off-campus routes are designed to serve those areas where the highest concentrations of students live.
A Park and Ride was also developed by having a route serve First Baptist Church of College Station,
and many students who do not live directly on a route drive a short distance to an area where parking is allowed and catch the bus at the nearest stop.
This allows access to all who choose not to purchase a parking permit.
The on-campus service was designed to provide a transportation option to all areas of campus and is available to all.
Even those students who choose the parking permit option and drive to campus benefit through reduced traffic and more parking availability.
Why are IDs now required to board off-campus routes and why are Brazos Transit District customers now riding AggieSpirit buses?
Brazos Transit District (The District) and Texas A&M University Transportation Services have a history of cooperation and partnership dating back to 2006. Recently the two entities jointly applied for and were awarded federal grant money. The District used this money to purchase 24 diesel and 3 electric buses for use by Transportation Services.
Due to this agreement and to qualify again for federal grant money for future bus purchases, both The District and Transportation Services must honor IDs/passes from each other on both systems.
Students, faculty, and staff possessing a Texas A&M University or Blinn College ID, and members of the general public possessing a
Brazos Transit District ID, must be prepared to show their ID to the driver when boarding at off-campus stops.
