Persuasive Speech: The Texas Visualized Transportation System

1. If they'd do something about the parking on campus, I wouldn't be late so often

Sometimes you will have a class outside and can’t get to and from that class in time. If you have a locker that is

Arrive on time for each on-campus class (and for exams) since entering late can disrupt others;

The problem with using the ATA bus system to solve the campus parking problem is the location of the bus stops, the time waiting for the bus, and the cost of the bus if the stop is off campus. The free stops on campus are only located within campus. Off-campus students will still have to find a way to get to campus to get on the bus. If a student wants to get on an ATA bus outside of campus they will be charged a fee. Another problem is students do not want to wait on the buses to get to their stop or if the miss a stop they have no way to get to

Tardies ranged from 0-83 times. Upon analyzing this attendance data it becomes clear that student tardy rates significantly impact student performance in CSI classes.

Students will park in the front parking lot only to allow for visitor parking.  We encourage students to carpool or ride the bus because parking is extremely limited.  We will have staff members directly student parking efforts, both in the morning and at lunch.

While this is a good thing to help bring people to the area all the while getting their education, these students aren’t exactly bringing more parking spots with them when they come to attend this school. Meaning more students every semester and less parking places as well. This can cause a variety of issues, and since we are attending this school and using this parking lot we elected to take advantage of its convenience and research the current issues that the overly full parking lot are beginning to cause for students and faculty alike.

In order to guarantee the safety of Claflin’s students, the administration must change the university’s transportation system. The freshmen students are not permitted to drive and they do not receive transportation they need. There are only two Walmart trips throughout the week and this does not satisfy the needs of the students. Moreover, the transportation van does not take students to doctor’s appointments and this is irrational and outrageous. If a group of students want to eat lunch at McDonald’s, they should be allowed to use the van services if the driver is still on campus. However, if the van driver is busy or absent, the students must walk to their

The University of North Texas is one of the largest universities in Texas. The university has around 35,000 students that commute or live on campus. As the result of this, the university doesn’t have enough parking spots for students and staff member due new construction of buildings for classes and Greek Life. This causes students and staff members to wander around through different parking lots to find a parking spots. There have been some cases were students looked for parking spot for 30 minute to 1 hour. This causes students to be late to classes and their jobs. At the University of North Texas, parking spot after 8:40 AM parking spot is hard to find. This means that people’s that have 11:00 AM class and commute, they have to leave their

It is ashame and many people go through this regularly. Students have to rush into class every morning and fill the spots available in the parking lot. Most of them wind up parking in awkward and technically illegal spots including on driving lanes, bus lanes, and no loading/parking zones. During the work day, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. the only place students can legally park around Delgado is in the lots around campus, all other areas are restricted!Something must be done about this! To solve the problem of towing vehicles of students or faculty, school administrators need to make a deal with the city of New Orleans to make rules for parking around the campus more lenient for students, or just not charge them for parking at all. Delgado is considered by some nothing more than a small community college whose parking spaces seem very equivalent to the students that go there, but over the last couple of years Delgado has grown and the number of students that

If you are used to showing your student ID to get into your local movie theater for a discounted price, you are probably already aware of the benefits you can get by being a student. You may not have thought of how local self-storage facilities

Why do students and their parents pay such a large amount of money to attend the University of Dayton if there is not going to be any place for parking? I am a first year student at the university so I understand that I am not permitted to have my car on campus (Handbook). My boyfriend on the other hand, lives at least a half hour away and comes to visit me several times a week. He arrives and has to drive for a very long time trying to find a place to park where he will not receive a ticket. He has tried to park everywhere we can think of, but it never seems to work out. The first few times he came over public safety/the police department was willing to give out temporary permits for visitors and

There have been many reasons why on-campus parking has become difficult in recent years. Increased student enrollment at Kent State University has posed many problems. The parking lots cannot facilitate the growing need for vehicle parking. Campus officials have undertaken construction projects to curb the parking problem, but these renovations have closed lots in the near term. Also, the increased enrollment of

Members of the community may need to walk a longer distance if they stay in an area that is not near a bus route. The neighborhood I stay in has about six bus stops, all within a five to ten minute walk from my apartment. The bus stops offer little protection from adverse weather or even a bench to sit on while waiting for the bus. I can image the difficulties a person in poor health, a person caring for small children, or an older adult may have while waiting on a bus. According to the GTA website, only the most frequently used bus stops will have a bench and shelter for those waiting (Greensboro Transit Authority, 2017). While some stops are not the most accommodating, the bus does have a high tech feature that lowers the bus closer to the ground for the passengers that need extra assistance, and the front of the bus reserve seats for handicap passengers.

On the FGCU website, there is a section called ‘Transportation’ that shows all of the opportunities students get to utilize. If not the shuttles, there is carpooling, bicycle rentals, and car rentals that are offered to students 18 years and up. Campus shuttles are used by the majority of FGCU students that live on campus. These shuttles are made so that students can have transportation other than walking. Although campus shuttles can be beneficial in many ways, there are some people who do not take the shuttles for numerous reasons.
