Here are problems to work on that are relating to MOBILITY and accessing the community goals:
Week 1:
Bus Plan Story Problem
Make a bus plan that works for this imaginary bus trip. Work as independently as you can, but you may ask for help if you need it.
Susan works weekdays at a coffee shop near the U of O (1 block from Dad’s Gate bus stop). She lives in an apartment at Fountain Villa (Sheldon Plaza).
Make a bus plan that gets her to U of O on time for her morning shift (she starts at 10:00 am). Include a Back-Up plan in case she misses the bus (this is the bus plan – going).
Finish the bus plan so she goes straight home after work. She is done with work at 2:00 pm. (This is the bus plan – back). Make a Back-Up plan in case she misses her bus (sometimes she stays to have a cup of tea after her shift ☺).
Bus Plan Story Problem (Downtown Eugene)
Make a bus plan that works for this imaginary bus trip. Work as independently as you can, but you may ask for help if you need it.
Susan lives in an apartment at Fountain Villa (the same apartment complex as CLP). She wants to spend Monday afternoon with her friends downtown for lunch and a visit to the Eugene Public Library. Make a plan that gets her to Eugene Station (ES) by 1:00 pm to meet her friends. (This is the bus plan – going).
The group of friends will spend about 3 hours downtown. Finish the bus plan so she goes straight home from ES. (This is the bus plan – back).
Back up plans
Discussion Questions
What is a back up plan?
Why do we have them?
Are back up plans always written?
Are back up plans always planned ahead?
Give some examples of back up plans you’ve used in the past:
Was it written?
Was it planned ahead?
Imagine unexpected situations that would need a back up plan:
What would you do (what would your back up plan be)?
If you couldn’t think of a back up plan, or couldn’t choose one to use, what would you do?
Write about one imaginary situation that would need a back up plan.
What is the situation? (some possible ideas: You were going to have a birthday party over Spring break, but now nobody can get together at your house for the party; You’re almost out of toilet paper and your neighborhood grocery store hasn’t had any in a couple of weeks)
What would your back up plan be? Please ask for help writing if you would like help ☺

I took a field trip to Sheldon radio station KRVM and when I first got there my impression is the rooms were very small. I also met two people. One man who was the head announcer and in control of the music and equipment. Another person was in control of CDs and the disk storage where he also works on the computer. I asked them a question. It was if they do any special events for certain callers. He said yes, but not often as they do Monday events every other Monday. My impression at the end was it seems like an interesting place to attend regularly.

I am working with the City of Eugene and Lane Transit District on a project called MovingAhead. MovingAhead is planning future investments to make our local transportation system safer and more usable for everyone, especially for people walking, biking, using mobility devices, and riding the bus. The streets where these investment options are being planned are: River Road, Coburg Road, 30th Avenue down to LCC, Highway 99 and MLK, Jr. Blvd.
Community engagement is an important part of the project, and we need to hear from all voices in the community to determine what future investments to make. We would like your help reaching staff and/or students that can provide important insight about where and how they are traveling to and from school and within Eugene.
One upcoming opportunity to participate is this coming Tuesday, Oct. 2nd (invite below):
You are invited to participate in an informative discussion about the MovingAhead project on Tuesday, Oct. 2nd from 4:30-6:00PM. The meeting will be held in the South Eugene High School Cafeteria, located at 400 E 19th Ave in Eugene. At this event, you’ll have an opportunity to learn about the project from City of Eugene and Lane Transit District staff, and share your insights.
We hope you can join us to be part of the discussion and help build a better transportation future for Eugene!
For more information and to RSVP, contact Adrienne DeDona, community outreach lead, at 360-903-4792 oradrienne@jla.us.com, or visit the project website at www.movingahead.org.
Refreshments will be provided! Students are also encouraged to attend and we can provide transit passes and/or gift cards to incentivize their participation. If you know any students that would like to come, please let us know in advance.
We know this is short notice, so understand if you cannot attend this meeting. We do want to engage with you and the students you serve. Please let us know the best way to do that.
Thank you, Adrienne
