athensnews.com : "Access to public transportation on campus and throughout Athens County is about to be improved for all Athens-based students and employees with a valid Ohio University identification card, according to a news release.
Athens Mayor Steve Patterson and OU President Roderick J. McDavis last week announced a pilot partnership that will allow the OU ID to serve as a fare card for unlimited travel on the Athens Public Transit (APT) system, beginning July 1, 2016. The Bobcat Pass pilot program is intended to significantly increase access to a large population within Athens County. The pilot phase will last one year and will be funded by OU’s Transportation and Parking Department."
