SGA adopts a campus

The Austin Community College Student Government Association members voted in an October 3 meeting to register with Capital Metro's Adopt-a-Stop program, and announced in the October 17th meeting that SGA had adopted the bus stop in front of Northridge Campus.

Bus-lines 142, 174 and the 1M service this adopted stop.

The Adopt-a-Stop program allows local businesses, organizations, individuals, and families to participate in cleaning and landscaping of local area bus stops. Student Government members will be cleaning the stop in-between the scheduled Capital Metro cleanings.

This will be one of forty stops that have been adopted in Austin.

There are upwards of 3000 bus stops available. "Its about giving a sense of ownership to the neighborhoods, we have never regulated what stops people can adopt." Alissa Schram, community involvement specialist, said.

Capital Metro will be placing a sign at the bus stop located at the main entrance to Northridge Campus on Stonehollow Dr. to indicate that it has been adopted by Austin Community College Student Government Association.
