RESOLUTION 36

A RESOLUTION TO BE ENTITLED

An act Concerning the Proposed increase in the transportation fee

WHEREAS, Article IX, Section 9 of the N.C. Constitution states, “The General Assembly shall provide that the benefits of The University of North Carolina and other public institutions of higher education, as far as practicable, be extended to the people of the State free of expense;" and,

WHEREAS, the UNC Board of Governors has extended "free as far as practicable" to all charges exacted by the state's 16 public universities, including student fees; and,

WHEREAS, the NC State Department of Transportation is requesting a $2.00 fee increase for the 2003-2004 academic year; and,

WHEREAS, the fee increase would cover the cost of a bus provided for the K-Mart Park and Ride lot, a bus currently operating without recurring funds; and,

WHEREAS, the K-Mart Park and Ride lot has been a very popular lot in the past, with the number of students on the two buses, in that route, totally between 12,700 and 14,300 students; and,

WHEREAS, the continuation of a new bus on the route will prevent wait times from returning to 30 minutes from 15 minutes; and,

WHEREAS, students would greatly benefit from the $2.00 increase because of the decreased wait time that allows the students to get to class on time; now therefore be it,

RESOLVED, that the North Carolina State University Student Senate supports a Transportation Fee Increase of $2.00 for the 2003-2004 academic year.

I hereby certify that this resolution was read twice and adopted in the North Carolina State University Student Senate, this 2^nd day of October 2002.
