Location Transport

does this make sense? feel free to add things!?

I think some affordable solutions for transportation on college campuses can be a college that has its own individual shuttle bus. So it would be not only less cars in congested parking lots. But it would save less time. Another solution can be a promotional campaign showing the benefits of walking or using public transportation. A campaign that can be put all around campus advertised with the words stating “the body is great for walking” I believe letting people know about the benefits of walking can give them an insight on how important exercise is. An as far as public transportation students can put on an advertisement can say “you want to save gas, take the shuttle train” it would be a lot cheaper purchasing it at your school than the local shuttle train station. Because then you can get a school discount. However, the simplest solution is to charge a higher price for permits and parking, which would force the students into alternative forms of transport. Or charge one for the initial parking then continuously charge it for every exceeding hour (or half hour).

  1. sry cant anser cuz i am NOT readin all of that!
  2. It makes sense, but my school does all of this (Georgia State), because it's in downtown Atlanta.
  3. you have a great idea why not go to someone and ask.
  4. I like the bus idea unfortunately it cost money to pay brains to check records and find out where the bus should stop at !!!
  5. These are Good Ideas! Also, you could suggest " Parking Garages" 3,4,or 5 stories tall so people will not have to walk 5 miles to a class and maybe they could take a Shuttle from there!!! Parking should Go Up instead of taking up Valuable space for Building Class Rooms!!
  6. The first part does. But then it gets lost..... You need to change it after you say //"but it would save less time..". finish that by saying: " what if an advertisment and promotional campaign was started with the message - "your body is great for walking!". Reminding people that the benefit of walking paired with the added benefit of benefiting the enviroment is a powerful message. Public transportation could also promote the same message. "If you can't walk it, share it." could be the message for public transit. Public transit is a great shared way of getting around and saves gas and parking by sharing a bus together. "....etc etc......go on that route it makes more sense.
  7. Good suggestions. When I went to the University of CA at Santa Barbara in the late 80s-early 90s, I briefly belonged to a group called Calpirg. Calpirg stands for CA public interest research group. The organization focuses on goals like you suggested by working on environmental and consumer protection. One day, the group asked its members to take part in a protest holding signs along the road leading into and traveling past campus urging people to stop driving for a day. It was a nice gesture, but in car-dependent CA that protest was futile. I didn't take part in the protest because I didn't want to be a hypocrite. I'm all for environmental protection, but I like driving and owning a car just like everybody else does.
  8. It makes sense but where are your paragraphs. It's too hard to read without them.
