Towing in Provo students vs industry

By Troy Cressman
November 01, 2015 12:00 AM
University towns are all too familiar with parking enforcement. Provo is no exception. With over 30 thousand students to manage, BYU has numerous policies in place in regards to housing and parking. Campus Police regulate parking on campus property, the BYU Parking office allows for an appeals process. The BYU off-campus housing office regulates what housing options are BYU approved, and provides a process to help students resolve various disputes associated with housing conditions and resulting situations. Parking at approved housing facilities, however, involves zero university oversight, mediation or appeals process through the university.

The bus less traveled

By Universe Contributor
June 30, 2015 12:00 AM
Buses go almost everywhere in Provo and other cities as well. I can take one bus from my apartment to BYU, the Provo Temple, my bank and my parents’ house. They are very convenient and easy to ride. There’s a website where we can look if we need help getting from one place to another (rideuta.com). UTA has efficient buses that use natural gas so they don’t harm the environment. One of the biggest draws of UTA is that it is environmentally friendly, which I think is really important for Utah. We also could take the FrontRunner, which travels from Provo to Ogden, with stops at almost every city in between.

Riding toward a safer future

By Universe Contributor
June 23, 2015 12:00 AM
While we were waiting at a red light, the car in front of me clipped the tail end of a bicycle crossing directly in front of him. WHAM! This sent the unsuspecting biker flying off his bicycle, while the driver simply sped away. Who’s to blame?
