MSU On-Campus Shuttle Demo – per David Kack , ASMSU is pushing to have the transportation fee
raised to fund an on campus shuttle/circulator bus. A demo is planned for the spring but the route and timing still needs to be determined. Possible future funding could be $50k each from ASMSU and
MSU to start.
Per Marianne Brough, since the campus expanded across 19th, she is optimistic funds will be approved.
They want to increase the student transportation fees but multiple levels of approval will need to be granted. This has to be completed by January. Once the shuttle pilot plan has been created they will
present it to the Student Senate.
Mid-Town Update – per David Kack, The city commissioners are working on a multimodal
transportation plan. Streamline would need to create/change bus routes to help make this happen.
