PULLMAN — The 15-member Parking and Transportation Task Force has resumed its work this year to review and discuss the university’s parking and transportation system. The task force provides an open review process, available to all campus groups, to deal with issues relating to parking and transportation.
John Shaheen, director of Parking, Transportation, and the Visitor Center, said, “The main objective of the task force is to have an established internal review process that provides WSU with a global campus perspective and broad representation on parking and transportation issues.”
The task force members represent various university groups including the Associated Students of WSU; the Residence Hall Association; the Graduate and Professional Student Association; a commuter student representative; WSU faculty; WSU Administrative Professional Advisory Council; WSU classified staff, Parking, Transportation and Visitor Center; Business and Finance; Capital Planning and Development; the Parking Appeals Committee, and Facilities Operations.
The task force was established in the fall of 2002 in response to recommendations by a peer review team who visited the WSU Pullman campus. The task force meets regularly throughout the academic year.
The Transit Advisory Group (TAG) also resumed meeting this year. TAG is a sub-group of the University Parking and Transportation Task Force and was formed in order to review the effectiveness of current transit services, review proposed changes or additions to future transit services, review financial plans that support transit services, and to solicit and evaluate feedback from various stakeholder and constituent groups.
TAG members include representatives from the Associated Students of WSU; the Residence Hall Association; the Graduate and Professional Student Association; a commuter student representative; a Greek community representative; Parking, Transportation and Visitor Center, and Business and Finance
