In gratitude for the hard work and dedication of Metropolitan State University of Denver’s approximately 3,000 professional employees, the University will continue to make Regional Transportation District EcoPasses free to faculty members and professional and classified staff members through Dec. 31, 2023.  

“The University has covered the cost of RTD EcoPasses as an additional benefit for professional employees since July 2021, and I am proud that we can again offer this transportation option,” said Larry Sampler, chief operating officer and vice president for Administration. “Such added employee benefits are part of our continued commitment to and recognition of our people.”
