“As the number of drivers increases, more and more people die at railroad crossings. In a car-train collision, the odds that those in the car will live are not very good,” stated in the Railroad crossing article in the NUES Driver’s Ed Online Course. There are many precautions that can be taken to reduce the amount of deaths occurring in railroad crossings. While signs and gates indicate a train coming across, there are many things we can do as pedestrians as well. First off, we should always follow and be aware of the advanced warning signs and do as instructed. There are even markings on the pavement as well. Never go around the gates or over the curbing that stops you from crossing the tracks. It is against the law to cross the tracks when

The cost of college tuition is continually on the rise and has placed many burdens on high school students as well as their families. Some of the burdens that are placed are a result of parents putting pressure on their children to earn scholarships. Some of the burden is a result of students putting pressure on themselves to earn scholarships. Then, there is the burden of high college debt once the student graduates. Is this pressure really helping our students or is it hurting them? The bottom line is college tuition is skyrocketing out of control and something must be done before it destroys our families and our children.

As previous explained in the literature review of this study, those for the extension say it will spur economic development along the designated route, help lower taxes through a wider tax base, and create additional opportunities for transit.

A purposeful analysis, will examine whether light rail will improve the quality of life for residents in Virginia Beach and if an incremental tactic in its construction is the correct way forward. Regardless if the resort city remains a fiscally sound municipality, is the

California is the highest populated state in the USA spanning to be third-largest in area. It has 160,000 square miles of area and more than 50,000 miles of roads and conventional rail networks in addition to over 100 airports. This shows that the state is undoubtedly very well developed. However, the available current transportation systems are not able to satisfy the demands of the current population and the forecasted future demographics. The congestion in the transportation system is causing huge burden to the Californians and the government in terms of time and money.

However, like language barriers, let me tell you about the troubles that come with transportation. You could rely on public transportation, but it seems as if it could be frightening for most immigrants if you are unable to speak English. My father once told me a story about his friend Mike, who worked in Champaign, IL in the International Rescue Committee, and one of Mike’s clients lived in a rural town where there wasn’t any traffic signs or paved roads. Mike recognized that due to her limited English, she might have needed assistance on how to take the bus to get to her appointments. Mike accompanied the women on how to get to her next appointment and figured she would be fine on her own from there. About a week later, Mike received

Despite poor infrastructure, rail transportation is still more energy efficient and less carbon-intensive than vehicular transportation, and it should not be discredited as an excellent resource for transporting our goods and people. This is precisely why it is of critical importance to prioritize our country’s rail system. A highly recommended solution for tackling several issues afflicting the U.S. is improving railway infrastructure, which would be very relevant use of climate change funding (and implementation of imminent Paris COP21 agreements), aiding emissions reductions, implementing energy efficiency, and upgrading passenger and industrial/commercial transportation. By improving rail infrastructure, the negative consequences for a

Going big on Wheels 2011, Sa​lt Lake City, Utah, a girl named Eliza McIntosh went over 12 miles without stopping in a wheelchair doing a wheelie. Incredible right?! People are making things possible for people who have lost something about themselves. Some of these things are like getting people back on the f​ield, court, or just doing tricks again.

“Your assignment is to write a persuasive essay and present it to the class in a week. You will be graded based on how convincing it is. Today we will be choosing topics,” announced Mr. Bowerbank, my 7th grade English teacher and ruler of classroom 110. My class simultaneously groaned at the prospect of work. I simply lifted my head with intrigue as it was already May and about time we had our first essay. He then proceeded to give examples of topics we could choose and gave us some time to think before we had to tell him our topic. My classmates were already rushing to tell the teacher their idea lest someone else steal it. That meant the usual abortion, death penalty, or drug use topics were out. I really couldn't think of anything and the teacher was slowly making his way through the remaining students like an executioner beheading criminals in a line. I have always thought that he would make a marvelous supervillain if he had a curly mustache, a tophat, and a cape. Eventually my name was called. I slowly dragged myself over to his desk. Even sitting down, he still seemed to tower over me. “What is your topic Cindy?” As usual in such desperate times, my mind turned to food. “Waffles are better than pancakes.” I figured that a waffle was just a differently shaped pancake with a nicer texture. “Hmm. Excellent topic. I look forward to your essay!” I survived to live yet another day.

Heavy Rail system need track and power therefore it is less costly than bus for volumes greater than 30,000 (O’Sullivan). It is an efficient choice for big cities like New York, San Francisco, or Chicago. For example, the BART uses feeder bus system and heavy rail system. Its capital costs are high due to tracks and right-of-way (Bresnock). BART costs are more expensive than integrated bus system because capital costs, operating costs, and distribution costs are higher. Light rail systems are more common in medium sized-cities. Some older versions of light rail are trolleys, and streetcars. The capital costs are higher than bus, but cheaper than heavy rail since they operate on the surface streets (Bresnock).

Commuting to school can sometimes be a good thing or a bad thing. Some days, you will love it and other days you will hate it.

I was never sure if I made the right decision on the day I set foot in that white bus, not only that, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take part in what was about to happen for those next 10 days. Before the bus hit the road, I watched many unfamiliar faces organize the equipment, gear, supplies, and packing bags into the trailer. Some people were already marking their seats at the white bus, with pillows here and there I wandered through the bus. I thought I shouldn’t be too hasty in choosing a seat. Making my way out of the bus, I rambled around the area looking to be useful. No one asked me for any particular help so I just strolled inside the church where, to my relief, I saw a few familiar faces. “Hi” there and “What’s up” here I was able to make myself feel a bit more at ease like I’m not completely out of place. I hate that feeling, the feeling of not belonging.
