Temple University currently runs two different shuttle bus services. One service

runs from 5:30 P.M to 6:00 AM dropping students off within the 5-20 block radius of

campus, while the other provides transportation to Temple’s main locations. Further

research determined that current transportation services provided by Temple is not

enough to satisfy the needs of the majority of college students; in fact, students will be

willing to pay an extra fee to avoid public transportation with the masses. The primary

research done exposed the thoughts and preferences that Temple students have

towards transportation, giving us the right feedback to further our study.

We evaluated student’s attitudes of Temple’s transportation services, and

SEPTA services to find that we should move forward with offering a new and improved

Temple shuttle 2.0 service. Secondary research was unavailable for the information we

needed, so primary research is the only sources used. After getting inside 180

students’ minds, we found our hypothesis correct. With this substantial case, we want to

pitch a proposal to the university with our primary research because we have a 82%

confidence level. With this proposal, we will be able to satisfy our Temple students by

providing them with safer, cleaner, and more adequate transportation to and from

campus. This potentially new addition to our school will appeal to parents who worry

about the dangers of their children in the inner cities; as well as creates more jobs for

the community. We are Temple, so lets take charge!
