Norwalk Transit District is proposing the elimination of the Norwalk Community College Shuttle (NCC Shuttle). This service is one that is utilized, greatly, by our students, faculty and staff. Elimination of the NCC Shuttle would severely impact the Norwalk Community College and its community.
There are a great number of our students who utilize the public transportation services provided by Norwalk Transit. For many of these students, public transportation is their only means of getting to campus. Though Norwalk Transit offers other buses that come to NCC, there are no other buses that specifically coincide with the Metro North Train schedule, leaving students to make drastic changes in order to get to campus in a timely fashion. And, other students reside in areas of Norwalk where only the NCC Shuttle passes. To remove this option for direct travel to NCC would be a gross disservice.
This is not a matter of mere want for convenience or minor schedule changes for students. This is a matter of students being able to pursue an education. The NCC Shuttle is a NEED for our Norwalk Community College Community.
Please consider signing our petition and help us SAVE OUR SHUTTLE!!!

I spent the morning emailing the transit office again because the complete silence is starting to feel intentional (or maybe they are just hoping we get tired and stop asking). Reading through the new notes people are leaving about how they actually get to class makes me even more convinced that cancelling this shuttle is a huge mistake for everyone trying to graduate.

With how poorly parking is managed, removing the shuttle will hurt an already sore student body and reduce student retention. School is hard enough to make it through when you work and it will be even harder if methods of transportation are taken away from folks who need them.
NCC CARES fought hard to get this shuttle in 2009 and many of our students depend on it. The elimination of this shuttle would greatly add to the obstacles our students face on a daily basis in completing a college degree.
Many students depend on the buses. Please keep the shuttle. It would make no sense to get rid of something that is of good use!
Save the Shuttle!! I use it!

I used the shuttle and it was a huge help to me to get to school at times when other busses were not around. I understand the need to consolidate, but often times its education that suffers. Dont let that cycle continue please!
