Workshop explores creative transportation options

Friday, June 26th, 2009

Creative, efficient transportation options for UNM students will be explored during the free Parent Connection Workshop Wednesday, July 1, from 6 to 7 p.m., at the main campus Student Services Building, rm. 260

Danielle Gilliam of UNM Transportation and Parking Services and Nick Manole of the City of Albuquerque Transit Department will share information about campus parking and alternative transportation options for students living on and off campus.

From renting zip cars to hopping on the state’s Railrunner, there are ways to get around the city and state on a student budget. Learn how students can buy a parking permit, bike to campus or take advantage of student bus passes and other public transportation.

Check‐in begins at 5:30 p.m. Parent Association members are on hand to visit with you about their campus experiences.

The series is sponsored by UNM’s Dean of Students’ Family Connection Program, Parent Relations Office, Parent Association and Extended University.

Workshops are taped and archived. For online viewing, visit unmlive.unm.edu or parent.unm.edu.

The workshops are held the first Wednesday of each month. From the Cornell Parking Structure (parking is $1.75 per hour), walk north on Cornell Mall. When you reach the north end of the Student Union Building go east to the Student Services Center, located behind Mesa Vista Hall.
