| Remarks | IMPLEMENTED - Memo from University President Amacher dated January 13, 1994, states that "I am opposed to putting the funding obligation on the University Police budget." |
| Whereas | Many international students and dormitory residents are attending UTA on a very limited budget, and have no means of transportation other than walking; and |
| Whereas | Many of these students have shopping needs that cannot be met; and |
| Whereas | The Winn-Dixie at Park Row and Cooper is scheduled to close at the end of the year eliminating the only food store within walking distance; and |
| Whereas | UTA has a large fleet of shuttle buses that goes largely unused on the weekends. |
| Be It Further Resolved That | The University of Texas at Arlington provide a weekend shuttle service between UTA and major shopping centers in Arlington; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | Funding be provided by local merchants; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | If the above group cannot meet funding requirements, then the University Police department (in charge of the shuttle buses) shall provide funding in full; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | The University provide sufficient shuttle buses to make this a viable project; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | Should Arlington implement a public transportation system, then this service shall be discontinued. |
