Bus Program will be Discussed with Students in the Fall

After carefully researching the financial implications of student fee increases plus N.C. A&T student bus ridership interests and demands, the previous administration decided not to participate in the GTA College Pass Transit Program. However, when students return to campus this fall, the present administration will discuss the program with students.
