Dear CSU Colleague,
DO
SOMETHING EASY FOR A FAIRER PARKING SYSTEM!
Our coalition negotiating
committee has been working to convince management that the current parking
system at UMB isn't fair, and that we need a sliding scale for parking
fees, reduced shuttle bus costs, and positive incentives to
encourage employees and students to use public transportation. But we need your
help to make it clear to the UMB administration that we all want them to do the
right thing.
As we’ve been arguing for a fairer
parking and transportation system, we have just learned about more lot closures
coming soon; in particular, Lot A, the South Lot, and the short-term lot will be
closing permanently and the Campus Center garage will be closing temporarily,
driving even more of us to Bayside, where management wants to charge us $8 a day
for the extra inconvenience.
At 10:45 am on Wednesday,
March 27, please show your support for a more equitable and
accessible parking and transportation system by joining in a brief stand-out
in the catwalk outside Healey Library. Let’s make sure management
understands that we are all watching these negotiations.
Please make the commitment to
being there by RSVPing to this email.
If you want to make sure your
point is communicated, come help us make signs! We're gathering in the union
office (Quinn 2 at the end of the catwalk) on Tuesday at 4 pm. We'll have all
the materials -- you just need to bring your ideas.
Contact Shauna Manning if you
have any questions: 617-287-6776 on campus or
shauna.manning@umb.edu
Thank you!!!
