Welcome back to Wednesday’s Senate meeting – We went to the meeting, so you didn’t have to.

Lane Districts Transportation refused to let students ride the bus due to confusion with the new ID cards.

The six senators, under the leadership of senate president Ednaly Jimenez-Gomez, held a 30-minute meeting this Wednesday to discuss Senate business.

ASUO Advisor Becky Girvan said at least one LTD driver has rejected three students from boarding the bus due to the new ID card. The new cards have a completely different layout and appearance. The card office just is handing them out this week, Girvan said.

“We have contacted LTD on this issue,” she said. “It’s a minor issue. With any type of new ID card implementation, it’s likely to be expected.”

Girvan encouraged students to report to LTD or the ASUO with the driver’s name or the bus route if they continue to have this problem.

The new ID card design that will be implemented this Fall.
