Over summer periods without school, Cat Tracks service will not be available, according to worker at TAPS front desk. These dates include:
May 17-June 14
Aug 8-Aug 25
This is a petition with the goal to encourage administration and TAPS to provide essential transport service to and from work. An example of the service would be: 2 morning and 2 evening routes with fee.
If possible, leave your current position in the comments section (undergrad, grad, post-doc, researcher, admin, etc.).
Due to short notice by administration, I propose an interim solution of a voluntary carpool forum found on the graduate student wiki (for those needing to join, the password is "whereismerced"): http://nerdsinmerced.wikidot.com/forum/c-49964/transportation
If you have questions, email: hpai [AT] ucmerced [DOT] edu.
Email disbursement so far (feel free to distribute to others):
1. Grad student email list
I have been in contact with several university departments to emphasize the necessity of these transit routes during the academic off-season. While formal discussions remain ongoing, the current lack of transportation options continues to present a significant challenge for staff and researchers. Please continue to utilize the voluntary carpool forum while I press for a permanent solution.

The level of engagement this petition has received demonstrates how vital these transportation services are to our daily operations. This momentum confirms that our collective need for reliable transit during the summer months is a priority that the administration must address.

This is ridiculous. Some of us still have to come to campus over the summer to finish our thesis projects. How are we supposed to get to work?

Grad student here. Really need this service kept running. Rent is already high enough without having to pay for a daily uber or gas for a long commute.
