Blue Jay Shuttle route extends to Hampden
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers the trial expansion of the Blue Jay Shuttle to Hampden.
- The News-Letter reported that the SGA and the Office of Transportation launched the route, which ran on four Saturdays from 12:30 p.m. to 5:45 p.m.
- The paper reported that SGA Senator Adelaide Morphett said the goal was to help students explore Baltimore and become more connected to the city.
- The article says planners chose Hampden over Towson and Fells Point because other transit options already served those areas.
- The reporter writes that the route remained on trial, with a permanent decision expected later that summer based on ridership and reviews.
- The article says the SGA funded the spring trial, which cost about $500, while the shuttle budget would fund it if reinstated the next fall.
- The News-Letter reported that a dispute over a 50 percent Grano discount produced no SGA action because the evidence was hearsay.
