Everywhere is within walking dis
tance if you have enough time. But for
most students, time is a limited
resource.
With the aid of Lincoln’s public
transportation system and the use of a
bike or ear, however, travel time can
become a less weighty issue.
First, students have to get to cam
pus. If students are driving in from
northern and western Nebraska, getting
to UNL may be slow. Current construc
tion on local highways may cause slow
er posted speed limits along with other
factors that will slow traffic down.
According to the Department of
Roads, the traffic on Nebraska
Highway 2 between Bennet and
Syracuse may be controlled by flaggers
in possible speed zones.
Currently, speed limits are reduced
and there are some one-lane roadways
between west Lincoln and Bennet on
Highway 2. Construction in this area is
expected to be done by June 1998.
Also, Highway 77 in Ceresco will
have traffic controlled by flaggers with
slower speed limits, possible cross
overs and local detours.
‘Traffic may be slow, but it should
flow and be well-maintained at the con
struction sites,” said Mary Jo Hall,
Communication Division Manager of
the Nebraska Department of Roads.
Once on campus, students can trav
el between City and East campuses for
free by riding StarTran, the public
transportation system in Lincoln.
Through the UNL/StarTran
Transportation Program, students can
use a bus pass that, along with their stu
dent ID, lets them ride free. The passes
are available at Parking and Transit
Services in the Stadium Drive Garage.
StarTran buses run Monday through
Friday, from 5:15 a.m. to 7:05 p.m., and
Saturdays from 6:30 a.m. to 7:05 p.m.
StarTran Public Transportation sys
tem also serves all of Lincoln, Monday
through Saturday. There is no night or
Sunday service.
For students with night classes, an
intercampus van service is available
from 6:00 p.m. until 10:35 p.m. during
the fall and spring semesters.
Students who park on campus are
provided shuttle service to the parking
lots by three shuttles. The hours of ser
vice of the three shuttles varies between
7 a.m. and 11:30 p.m.
Annual permits for parking cost
$108 for Aug. 8, 1998 through August
22, 1999, fall and spring permits are
$81 and a semester permit is $40.50.
Reserved and perimeter permits are
also available. New students were sent
information about application dead
lines and prices.
The price to park in the Stadium
Drive Parking Garage is 35 cents per
half-hour for the first hour and 50 cents
per hour thereafter. Parking meters
located on campus have time limits
ranging from 10 minutes to four hours
and cost 25 cents per hour.
Bike racks are available near build
ings on both campuses, as well as at
locations downtown. Lincoln also has a
system of hiker/biker trails. Many trails
start near campus and run in all direc
tions for recreation or commuting.
Sidewalk riding is prohibited in the area
bounded by K through R streets
between Ninth and 16th streets and on -
O through R streets between Seventh
and Ninth streets.
Parking maps with information and
bus schedules are at the Stadium Drive
Parking Garage, located west of
