Community colleges: transportation fees.

Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges, administered by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education in the state. Existing law establishes community college districts under the administration of community college governing boards, and authorizes these districts to provide instruction at community college campuses throughout the state. Existing law authorizes the governing board of a community college district to require students and employees at a campus of the district to pay a fee for the transportation costs incurred by the district or the costs of reducing fares for services provided by common carriers or municipally owned transit systems to students and employees. Existing law limits the amount of that fee to an amount that does not exceed $60 per semester and $30 per intersession when combined with a specified parking services fee. This bill would increase the combined limit of the transportation fee and the parking services fee to $70 per semester or $35 per intersession. The bill would require these fee limits to increase annually based on a specified calculation.
