The money from this fee will be used for expenses that include, but are not limited to, fleet replacement, disability services, and route expansion. This Initiative differs from the current Measure S fee in that the funds may be spent more broadly and the funds are also overseen by a funding board. The fee shall be subject to the Anteater Express Initiative Funding Guidelines. In accordance with campus policy, 33% of the fee will be returned to financial aid to provide adequate financial aid to support the cost of this fee for all eligible students. The fee will begin in fall 2013 and will be assessed to all registered undergraduate students at the same amount for all quarters including Summer Session. The fall quarter after the fee reaches $40, the fee shall increase annually based on the California Consumer Price Index (CPI) to offset the effects of inflation. Regardless of the department under which Anteater Express resides, the Anteater Express Board shall maintain full oversight over the funds raised by the Anteater Express Initiative in accordance with the Anteater Express Initiative Funding Guidelines. The Anteater Express Board will be responsible for providing an annual report on ridership, financial information and student feedback to the Chancellor. ____ YES, I approve a new ongoing $8 quarterly fee starting in fall 2013 that will increase annually by $8 per quarter until it reaches $40, at which point the fee will increase annually based on the California Consumer Price Index, to support the Anteater Express. ____ NO, I do not approve a fee to support Anteater Express. ____ I Abstain.
