University shuttle operations can use school vacations, like winter or spring breaks, for driver education and training sessions. Summer may be a quiet time on a college campus , but for operators of on- and off-campus bus and shuttle services , summer vacation is no time for relaxing. The proverbial to-do list is a long one that includes addressing issues around staffing vehicle maintenance , route planning , marketing, budgeting, and maybe even international relations. Each school is unique due to the size of the campuses, student bodies, and their locations within their local communities. But, virtually all of them have two key things in common: the layout of the routes and an “off season.” Compared to a standard bus service with a dozens of routes that wind their way through an entire city all year long, a university service requires fewer routes and stops and transports riders to one location — the campus. That means when the spring semester ends , operators can scale back the ...

August 23, 2017 Madison, Wis. — When it came to getting homework done, the odds weren’t in Kebba Bojang’s favor. Like many teenagers, he admits, he had a tendency to procrastinate. And with no computer at home and the nearest library a long walk away, assignments often ranged from difficult to impossible.  Unlike most other high school students in similar predicaments, however, Mr. Bojang was able to find a solution in – quite literally – his own backyard.  Bojang, now 24 and entering his second year of pharmacy school at the University of Iowa, is representative of a range of success stories to have come out of Northport Apartments, a Section 8 housing development on Madison’s East Side. At the heart of the 140- unit apartment complex , both physically and metaphorically, is a humble brick building that holds a roomful of computers, a few quiet meeting rooms , and a team of residents-turned-staff eager to help their neighbors succeed.  After moving to Northport his sophomore year o...
