[Vision2020] Reducing cars in town

[Tom Hansen]

I am certain that these ideas presented by Arnold will be immediately
adopted once a source of free gasoline and free cars is identified.

 

Keep us informed, ok?

sideways, chocolate in one hand, a drink in the other, body thoroughly used
up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO. What a ride!'"

What if the University were to include free ( or reduced price) car rentals
for each student and offered free bus rides to Boise, Twin Falls, Portland,
and Seattle, (and cities in between during vacation times), to students that
elected not to bring a car to the University, which is unneeded for most on
campus living students.

If a student could rent a car from the UI for the day, or a few hours once
in a while, they might elect to do that instead of bringing a car that eats
at their wallet when they really don't need one most the time. It would also
free up parking spaces on campus and downtown. 

Just an idea.

Best,

When I was a student here in 58-62 and 66-69, students were actively 
discouraged from bringing vehicles to the university. Is there any chance 
of reviving that policy?
