For MWCC students who can’t get to school by car, commuting can pose some major challenges.
“Forty percent of MWCC students don’t live in a community that’s served by MART,” said Dean of Students Jason Zelesky at a Transportation Information and Listening session in early February.
“We serve 29 cities and towns, most of which are not served by MART at all,” said Zelesky.
According to Shelley Nicholson, Director of the Brewer Center for Civic Learning and Community Engagement, information gathered from several listening sessions and surveys indicated that the biggest obstacle for students who don’t commute by car is the conflict between class schedules and the MART bus schedule.
