I think that ALL full-time students should pay a mandatory fee for MARTA
and then be issue stickers to attach to our IDs (prevents people from
selling passes they get for free).  

As an alternative, discounted quarterly passes should be sold to students.
The discount would be subsidized by parking fees.

I know some might think that neither of these would work... well they do
the first at the University of Illinois/Urbana-Champagne and the second at
the University of Arizona.
