7. Student Transit Fee Nationally, student transportation fees are the most common and effective means of funding university transit and shuttle programs Student transit fees are good for sustainability and create a dedicated revenue source to ensure continued operation of transit and shuttle services User fees are less effective as they result in declining ridership and revenue Student ratepayer board would be created to administer and allocate fee revenue
