The Transit Fee is administered by Parking and Transportation Services with oversight from the Transit Advisory Group (TAG). TAG is a sub-group of the University Parking and Transportation Task Force. TAG members include a student representative from the Associated Students of Washington State University (ASWSU), a representative from the Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA), a representative from the Residence Hall Association (RHA), a representative from Greek Life, and a representative from commuter students.

TAG responsibilities include reviewing the effectiveness of current transit services, reviewing proposed changes or additions to future transit services, reviewing financial plans that support transit services, developing proposals related to transit service and other transportation-related programs, forwarding proposals to various constituency and stakeholder groups to solicit and evaluate feedback, and providing input regarding service levels for transit contract negotiations.
