Donna Hultine, director of Parking and Transit, also said that due to the campus construction on Daisy Hill, many residents may end up with yellow lot or Park and Ride passes which are farther away, and that marketing Safe Bus and Safe Ride to those students should be a priority.
Hultine also said a real-time app should be available in the fall semester that will allow students to track the routes from their phones.
Wagner brought up lighting concerns she had discussed with Student Body President Morgan Said in parking lots near Louisiana Street.
"In our conversations with a lot of the sororities and female scholarship halls, [there] is kind of, down Louisiana Street, this very poorly lit parking lot a couple of blocks down from the scholarship halls where none of the girls like to park," Wagner said.
The Board wants to work with the city to provide lighting in studentdense neighborhoods off-campus such as the Oread neighborhood and Emery Road.
The Board also plans to look into the success of the emergency poles on campus. Another proposed idea included creating a campus safety week and offering self-defense classes for students.
Farlow plans to set-up an open forum within the first couple weeks of the fall semester for students to contribute to the conversation.
