ASUM Transportation thanks bus system supporters
The ASUM Transportation board would like to take this opportunity to thank all that have been helpful in the process of upgrading the student-owned and -operated bus system into a full resource for the University – the following agencies and people have worked hard to fund new buses (they are really coming in April!) and to make the system an incredibly popular service.
We know that some people are being left as buses are full. The board feels that with a little planning on the rider’s part, the bus service is not only available, but frequent and fun to use. We also want you all to know that we are working as hard as possible to have enough bus service for all.
Thanks to the following individuals and agencies: All the UM students that support and use the system, President Dennison, VP Foley, VP Duringer, VP Branch, ADSUM, Mountain Line, Public Safety, Facilities Services, Planning and Construction, Residence Life, Dining Services, ASUM senators and all the great students that work for ASUM Transportation – especially the student drivers that have had to struggle with rain, snow, sleet, wind, old and sometimes malfunctioning equipment, broken lifts, frozen or broken fuel pumps, frozen buses, frozen wash bays, road construction, the rare but occasional grumpy or intoxicated rider, blocked stops, bad drivers, people on cell phones, deer, dogs and some bikers not following the rules of the road, …
To all of you – thank you! The service is on the way to major improvement. Stick with us – we appreciate all of you.
ASUM Transportation Board
Nancy Wilson,
Director, ASUM Office of Transportation
