Referred to: __________________________________________________________.

WHEREAS, the Wolfline is a mode of transportation that is supported by students in the form of student fee money; and,

WHEREAS, those students living off campus pay $104 in the Transit Operations Fee which is the same that an on campus student pays; and,

WHEREAS, the university goal is to make the campus more pedestrian friendly; and

WHEREAS, the continual rise in parking prices has caused the Wolfline to become an increasingly used method of getting to and from campus; and,
