During the last week of every month, students who are part of the program or have signed up on the waiting list are notified as the passes arrive. They can be used on any Miami-Dade County Transit Authority bus route.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cA [monthly] bus pass is about $57, so close to $60 monthly, and a semester is 16 weeks, so we\u2019re looking at $240 [in savings for students],\u201d said Single Stop Director, Barbara Pryor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To obtain free bus passes, students must go through a Single Stop screening. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The intake process will determine whether students are eligible for financial assistance. Filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) \u00a0is not required but recommended.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe understand that there are some <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">factors or circumstances<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where students do not qualify for aid because they\u2019re maybe undocumented or there are some other circumstances,\u201d Pryor said. \u201cSo that\u2019s why we use some personalized screener which will help us show that there\u2019s financial need.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, students must present a valid schedule for the current term. There is no minimum amount of credits required. Other conditions for qualification are to meet with a Single Stop financial coach to develop a free financial plan and the completion of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The passes are provided by the Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works as part of their Transportation Disadvantaged Program. The number of passes offered each month varies depending on availability. Usually, more than 200 passes are distributed evenly at North, Kendall and Wolfson Campuses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEvery month we\u2019ve seen an increase of more students wanting to be placed on the waiting list,\u201d Pryor said. \u201cBy the end of May, there were about 75 students on said list. We are working with Miami-Dade Transit, we\u2019re in the process of requesting more passes for students because we definitely see the need.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Initially, free bus passes were offered to students through the Walmart Back to Work grant, which ended late last year. Since then, Single Stop has taken responsibility of the program. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Single Stop USA partnered with Miami Dade College in 2010 to connect students with public benefits. It offers a myriad of services for students, such as free tax preparation and legal referrals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe in higher education see the need and the value, especially here at Miami Dade College, in helping our students to stay in school and persist to graduate,\u201d Pryor said.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than 200 free bus passes are available to Miami Dade College students at Single Stop offices located at North, Kendall and Wolfson campuses. \u00a0 The passes are available to all MDC students on a first come, first serve basis.
