UW-Madison might cut its popular free bus pass program for employees because of a roughly $1 million deficit in the transportation budget. Thatâ??s one of the changes that Transportation Services Director Patrick Kass is considering to solve what he calls an “unsustainable” business model. Kass will hold a series of forums to discuss the possible changes to services. Last year, the free bus pass program cost the university about $1.3 million. The department distributed about 15,000 bus passes, allowing employees to take 1.6 million free rides.
