Recommended: Importance of project management for students

The ULL bus stop is something students and faculty walk by and use every day. It is a very visible part of ULL and has been looked passed and it is apparent that it has been neglected for years. Our Action Project is focusing on not only adding on to the bus stop, but also the renewal of what is already there. Our project topic is something that is important because the current bus stop does not meet certain needs.
When you are at the bus stop to go to Cajun Field and you look at the covering you will notice that it is falling apart. There are holes and exposed wood and in some placing it is rotting. There has been many times the line for the bus exceeds the bus stop so people are left in the open area, which is an inconvenience when it is windy or rains. With its current configuration, the bus stop can accommodate approximately 90 people and with our modifications it would be able to fit about 250 people. As of the Fall of 2015 there are 16,729 degree seeking students at ULL (Lord). The bus stop only being about to hold 90 students at a time simply isn’t enough. We also plan on making the new design ADA accessible because with the current design of the bus stop it is very hard for a handicap person to gain access to the entrance of a …show more content…

Students walk past it every day and nothing gets done about it. Our group has noticed these unfavorable aspects of the bus stop and are fighting for the ability to improve the bus stop for all UL students and faculty alike. With the help of several organizations on campus, this improvement to a vital part of the transit system will not be costly to the University. To bus riders an ideal bus stop is one that provides easy access to the bus, is convenient, and safe (Bus Shelters - Project for Public Spaces). The bus stop should provide riders protection from weather, and a feeling of safety and security (Bus Shelters - Project for Public

  • Analysis Of Please Stop Laughing At Me By Jodee Blanco

    1055 Words  | 3 Pages

    Every school bus has a hierarchy, a caste system. The cool crowd — the kids who smoke, come to class with hickies, and get into enough trouble to be the secret envy of the honor roll students – occupies the back rows. The cheerleaders and star athletes take the middle seats. The serious students sit near the front. The nerds and the outcasts never know where they'll end up. If they're lucky, they can find an empty seat directly behind or to the right of the driver. (8)

  • MTS Scholarship Essay

    845 Words  | 2 Pages

    Since my freshmen year of high school, I have met peers who rely on public transportation to get to school every day since the school bus system did not serve their neighborhood. They were students who were eager to come to school everyday, relying on MTS to transport them to school on time every day. Similarly, my mother relies on MTS to get her to work on time every morning and home every afternoon. Both students and adults alike have had little to no problems with the transportation system; when there were problems, MTS was able to adjust their schedules or routes to serve the community. A friend who just recently began to rely on public transportation to transport her to school has told me the interesting experiences she has encountered during the time she has used the public transportat...

    The number of complaints relating to Cal State Fullerton’s parking is out of control. Considering the prices CSU Fullerton charges to park at their school, students should be guaranteed a parking space. Students are currently outraged regarding the Cal State Fullerton’s parking conditions. Some students even decide to not attend the school based on the pricing and availability of parking. A school losing an immense number of students only because of the parking situation is insane. Cal State Fullerton should reduce the pricing towards parking for reasons of availability, cost, and profit.

  • Duquesne Loop Bus Transportation Program

    1318 Words  | 3 Pages

    The issue at hand is that Duquesne University students are displeased with the transportation services available to them specifically the SGA Loop Bus. I believe Matt Liberatore speaks for the majority of students when he commented (about the Loop Bus) saying, “It is not as effective as it should be. They’re inconsistent, and aren’t enough prevalent as they should be.” Problems were evident from the beginning of its existence. The Loop Bus is a free service to students of Duquesne University that runs Friday and Saturday beginning at 5:00 in the evening and ending as early as 12:30 and as late as 2:30am. This leads to many cases of being stranded in unfamiliar places throughout the city. Matt also commented on how was inconvenienced during his freshman and sophomore years where he remembers waiting hours until another bus would come because the previous was too small.

    Rosa Parks said, “Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.” Racism has troubled people for hundreds of years and has not solved. It seems as a chameleon; people may hardly to detect it, but it not means it does not exist. As Mary Mebane states in her article, “The Back Of The Bus”, she experienced how white people segregate black people in her lifetime. As Martin Luther King JR shows in his speech, “I Have a Dream”, he awakened black people struggle to against inequality with government and society.

    When most people think about an eventful or memorable place, they almost certainly would not picture a bus. As we all know, buses are not exactly attractive. The design scheme is the same in almost every bus: rows and rows of brown seats, a thin black aisle down the middle of the bus, hundreds of hazy windows, and the big, lemon-yellow exterior. Not many people, I am sure, would consider buses to be an important part of their lives. However, if a person were to think about it, they would realize that they probably have had at least one memorable experience in their life that took place on a bus.
