MASS TRANSIT @ Cal Poly, Pomona

[eva1673]

honestly, CPP has one of the cheapest parking among university in california. $90 per quarter compare to $600+ per quarter in UCs. $220 per semester in CSUF, I heard $1000 in USC per quarter. (still, I never say it's not overpriced)

Regardless of the parking fee, parking sucks in CPP, It is hard to find a parking spot in the afternoon. We do need trains.

LA county should build a train station between mtsac and CPP for better service and higher return.

awesome video, i agree we need mass transit

If Cal Poly were a truly environmentally responsible campus, it would attract more and better qualified students while improve its reputation in the process. If SDSU did it, so should Cal Poly.

Building a train station isn't the only problem, since train tracks would need to be rerouted as well. 200 yards, however is close enough that students could be bused the remainder of the distance. Have to agree about the lighting of that thing though.

[javithemonkey]

no they wouldnt have to reroute the line, the school owns land on pomona blvd(south of temple next to the state mental hospital; its currently farm land) up to the riverside metrolink line(which zooms by on school grounds). the school send me an email saying that they do not want to spend the 1 million that is needed to build the station plus the maintenance fees. they also came with the excuse that it would take too long to build

[javithemonkey]

oh the parking fees are used to pay for the parking structure. i would prefer more parking structures hate parking in up in the hills.

[jcb344]

I think that this should be shown to the president

[javithemonkey]

seems dumb but school will not pay for it and la county will say that there will not be enough ridership for a station.

[junkmail1203]

I completely agree with this person and I think he made an excellent debate video about public transportation on campus. However, I would like to point out that Cal Poly Pomona once had a miniture bus "station" (more like a stop) a few years back strictly for buses only. CPP administration decided to stop this as it was degrading the asphalt too quickly on the hills. I would love to see an alternative solution like SDSU's, even if I graduate before then.

[mianersiyok]

Wow, since when is there a parking structure at Cal Poly? It must be new, I haven't been near Cal Poly since they rerouted the buses away from the Cal Poly transit area. It sure is a shame to see yet even more levels of parking in an ocean of parking lot space....Cal Poly needs rail! and so does Mt.Sac..

[milh467]

The structure opened in Fall of 2007 after many, many delays.

[JayyDee63]

Wow, that is absolutely ridiculous and shameful that the Metrolink doesn't have a stop at CPP, because the campus wants to continue ripping students off with over-priced parking fees!

What can we do? Do you have contact addresses to write to?

[heathiam]

thank you, it is ridiculous that even with a metro link track passing right by the campus students have to endure hour long drives from la.

[chadorland]

I agree with your point, but I also like the new parking structure because I know for sure there is a parking spot available to park my car.

May be we can accomplish both goals?

Public transportations system is definately a good idea. If public transportation system is abudant with strong security system, people would probably choose to use that system.
