Another group was hanging out half way up the hill, drinking water and eating oranges. This was all part of PIRG’s efforts to raise awareness for ‘Alternative Transportation Day’. The main point being that there are far too many people driving to school in their vehicles alone. In fact we counted 231 “single occupancy vehicles” during the peak time between 9:00 a.m. and 9:30 am! WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THAT MAKE? With increased student enrollment, parking lot spaces at UNBC e have proven to be inadequate. There is nothing worse then Call For Submissions!! driving in circles in the parking lot when you’re late for class. , SO, how about walking, taking the bus, riding your bike or better yet, CARPOOLING! We students need to support public transportation, to maintain it as a viable and convenient service...what would YOU rather see: increased parking lots or better bus service? However, for some people driving is mandatory, and as winter sets in some of the alternatives become less appealing. CARPOOL? There is a handy sign up list outside the PIRG office so that people can pool together to help increase available parking spaces, save on gas money, and help cut back on pollution (we all know that more cards on the road mean more pollution, and we all know that Prince George has a pollution problem). It is also possible to carpool with people in your classes- just ask around. And hey you could also look at carpooling as an excellent way to get to know new people!
