For commuter students attending UTSC, public transit is an essential means of getting to class in a timely manner. In recent years, however, the cost of using public transit within the City of Toronto has spiraled upward due to declining provincial and federal government funding, and rising systems maintenance costs. In an effort to ease the financial strain on its student members, the SCSU in collaboration with other local student organizations has successfully lobbied the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) to offer a reduced monthly transit rate. The Scarborough Campus Students’ Union is pleased to announce that TTC Adult Metropasses and Post- Secondary monthly Metro passes are available for purchase for all UTSC students at SCSU office SL108  by 3^rd week of every month at a discounted price.
