Tiger Transit Resolution

Tuesday, November 7th, 2006
 The Student Government Association Senate passed the following Resolution unanimously on Monday, November 6.   The Trans-Loc Transit Visualization system is currently operating well at North Carolina State University.  I viewed the system personally this summer.  I can certainly vouch for its accuracy, but if you would like to see the system for yourself, please check out NC State’s Wolf Line.  Please read and respond to the following resolution.

TO:                        Student Senate
FROM:                  Wes Bonds- President Pro Tempore of Student Senate; George  Stegall- SGA President

A Resolution from the Student Government Association Student Senate Supporting the TransLoc Transit Visualization System
 

WHEREAS, Auburn University’s Tiger Transit ridership has increased from 700,000 in 2002 to 1.7 million in 2005, and is continuing to grow each year, and
 

WHEREAS, parking in C-Zone is no longer the primary means for students to reach campus, and

WHEREAS, a Transit Visualization System will improve the Tiger Transit and allow it to continue its growth while providing safer and more efficient means of transportation, and
 

WHEREAS, the Trans-Loc Transit Visualization System is the best system available, and
 

WHEREAS, Trans-Loc allows riders to view each transit’s location online in real-time as well as via mobile device, and
 

WHEREAS, it is understood that there is a cost associated with this benefit, and
 

WHEREAS, Trans-Loc has proven to be a success at North Carolina State University,
 

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Student Government Association Student Senate encourages the Board of Trustees and Auburn University Administration to implement the Trans-Loc Transit Visualization System at Auburn University.

In Response to recent requests

Wednesday, November 1st, 2006

A few days ago, someone asked that this site move toward letting students post opinons and concerns on Soundoff. While that is certainly a good idea, SGA Soundoff was not designed to be a message board. This is a content management system… a way in which the SGA can deliver relevant information to the students quickly. We are allowing for your feedback on these issues by displaying the comment option.
While you may certainly publish your opinions through the comment option….If, at any time, you want to discuss an issue with your senators, you are encouraged to email them. Their email addresses are located on the SGA Senate page of this site. They are also located on the SGA website here.

I suppose you may also post through a senator if you so desire. Senators post through their committee heads. We set soundoff up this way to create a check/balance so we could ensure that all the information on here was relevant and factual to maintain the integrity of the SGA. Thank you for your input! Your opinion matters greatly to us. If you still think that students should be able to post…or have any other opinions on how to make this better just let us know. We’re always open for suggestions.
