When the Red Hawk Shuttles resume service this fall, riders should be able to track the location of the shuttles online. The idea was one of the many discussed by Grand Marshal Max Yates ’06 in his Agenda for Rensselaer when he ran for the office.
According to Yates, the Board of Trustees has agreed to fund the project. Plans call for the ability to track five of the shuttles via an online system to be hosted on the Parking and Transportation website that will also be linked to from the Senate’s website.
The actual technology to be used is still under consideration. Yates said he has been discussing the project with several individuals researching related topics such as DSES Professor Alan Wallace.
