An Example of a Needs Assessment Project

As people have difficulties to reaching services and activities without having a car, owning a car has its disadvantages and problems also. The problem’s origin date back to the 1920s. While cities were being planned, overall design was based on car usage, but did not account for growth in that population. Urban sprawl added to increased car usage, which was not taken into account during the design phase, and improper

Identified in this paper is the social issue of public transportation within the Joplin, Missouri area. The effects of this issue span gender,

Transportation in the region has a long and successful past. However, public transportation has consistently taken a back seat to the personal automobile. There has been a strong core of persons who rely on public transportation to achieve mobility, and governmental

The Comprehensive Needs Assessment was completed through analysis of student achievement data on the MEAP assessment. The results are from 2014 and prior as the MEAP assessment has now been replaced by MStep assessment. The results were used to gain a clear understanding of the effectiveness of school programs/process and curriculum in order to be able to fully support the students at Universal Academy.

The article, “Automakers Prepare for an America That’s Over the Whole Car Thing,” by Neal E. Boudette, was published on December 22, 2016 in The New York Times. Boudette informs the reader about how “novel” technologies are creating new alternative ways for people, particularly in urban settings, that commutes to different places. Young Americans consider owning a car unnecessary, or a necessary expense. Carmakers are looking at a future where cars will play a little role, or no role at all, in many people’s daily routines. Thus, many industries are in the process of

The City of Chicago has developed several programs that address the issue of transportation. In the city, problems associated with transportation include

On average, an American commuter spends around 30 hours per week sitting in traffic going to and from the job that they may or may not love. Commuters in some cities like Washington DC, that is both near and dear to our hearts, can spend roughly 60 hours per week stuck in traffic. Not only is time wasted wasted while commuting, but the gas that we constantly fill our cars up with may as well be flushed down the drain. Following the gas that is going down this metaphorical drain here, is a ridiculous amount of money from an innocent commuter’s wallet. Additionally, time wasted while commuting could’ve been time well spent with one’s family or even with one’s pets. The

With respect to physical mobility in particular, the transportation is a key requirement to participate in the life of the community and to access important goods and services. Transportation issues range from being housebound due to lack of accessible transportation, to needing unavailable specialized transportation, to extra costs arising from regular use of taxis because of inadequate public transportation. Indirectly, consumers with mobility limitations may, overall, have fewer opportunities to get out and make independent consumer decisions.

The team addresses that the main purpose of the study is to address long-term inter-regional transportation problems and opportunities and to consider alternative actions to addrees these issues as part of developing an integrated, multi-modal transportation system that permits the capable movement of people and goods, and provides better economic and transportation linkages between urban growth centres in the GTA west study area (figure 1) (Transportation development strategy report, 2012). In order to finalize the purpose of the study, the project team identified the specific transportation problems and opportunities within the study area (Transportation development strategy report, 2012). They developed, assessed and evaluated a range of Area Transportation System Alternatives to address the identified issues relating to transportation, and opportunities presented within the study area (Transportation development strategy report, 2012). Lastly, the team recommended a Transportation Development Strategy based on the Area Transportation System Alternatives supported onward from the assessment (Transportation development strategy report,

The main theme that is identified is the capability to complete tasks without assistance, the freedom to make decisions for themselves, and the will to do whatever they want. These elements enhance quality of life and the determinants of quality of life are dependent upon health and financial means (Bowling, 2007). Driving is one of those important factors shared in the book and the first thing mentioned by the woman interviewed. Transportation allows her the freedom to participate and engage in activities that she chooses on a daily basis.

Our focus was determined by The School Improvement Team (SIT) based on recommendations from the Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA) provided by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) and shared in part A of AAPSL. Literacy skills is the focus and the improvement of literacy skills is our instructional aim in order to improve English II EOC scores. Therefore, instruction that is relevant and rigorous will be used to improve testing.

Have you ever considered taking the buses, not the car, to your destination? According to his essay “The Bus, a Modern Panacea,” Lester Detroit states that the VTA system offers a fundamental solution for not only the SJSU student but includes most people who commutes to school or work. He claims that cars have the negative side effects for the environment problems; furthermore, cars are the problem of both traffic congestion and wasting time and money. He insists that students should “drop their car culture and create a new bus culture.” Bus is the “cure-all solution” for students. As for students, I strongly disagree with Detroit’s point of view that VTA system is a suitable transportation for students to commute. It is important for students to realize that not a lot of people know how to transit, taking the bus is inconvenient, safety concern, and pollution.

This is one of the main cause environmental pollution. Canadian vehicle owners are now double what they were in 1960. (The David Suzuki Foundation, n.d.). In Canada, Moreover, about 9 million workers said that they had never used public transportation to commute. The reason why they don’t use it, because about 7.4 millions of these people thought that public transportation would be somewhat or very inconvenient (Campbell, W., 2011, October

Sycamore Community School District 427 is a well rounded school district for the amount of ELs that are within the community. With the small number of ELs, it poses a challenge on the administration on how to best service the student body to give them the best educational experience possible to help them thrive inside and outside of school. The school demographics being majority white and English speaking, and the ELs of a very diverse background, poses a challenge on creating two-way dual language programs in the district which would benefit the students most. According to The Bilingual Advantage, “Even if children and adolescents are not fully proficient in their primary language, enabling students to use their

For how long do you need to be covered? Your career mostly dictates this. For anyone in self-employment, with no thoughts of being public service, they will look for long-term policy. A person, who just lost a job, would look for short-term cover as they seek employment.
