• Feedback from Employees on Staff Shuttle
  • Some employees stated that on nice days they would not ride the shuttle so that that they could walk. 
  • B1 and D6 would be two desirable places for pick-up based on employee feedback. 
  • Snite museum, Corby Hall and the Main Circle would be a desirable drop off for some employees.

  • Winter months will see the biggest demand for the shuttle, based on employee feedback.
