It has been brought to our attention that the current bus routes are not adequate in serving the needs of all of our students and faculty. The board has received many complaints and that is why, after much deliberation, we have decided to extend bus routes to previously underserved areas as well as having the bus’s run the routes multiple times each day. Considering the lack of parking space on campus as well as the price burden on students from the rise in gas prices, we feel as though this is the most effective remedy. From now until further notice the bus will run its same routes an additional three more times a day and we will create a map to show the new bus routes as well.
