While it&#8217;s convenient to have essentials like Walmart within a short drive, it can be tough for students without cars to access them. Biking or taking the bus is an option, but it takes longer and isn&#8217;t always reliable. This can be a challenge for those who rely on these modes of transportation.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:#000000;color:#6bc6ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Additionally, the perceived distance between locations on a map can be deceiving. For example, Chipotle might look close, but the actual drive can feel longer due to the layout of Edwardsville&#8217;s roads. This can impact students&#8217; plans and decisions about how to get around, especially when they don&#8217;t have access to a car. On the flip side, having a car offers more freedom to explore and socialize off-campus. However, it also comes with costs and responsibilities that not all students can afford. And in inclement weather, walking or biking can be uncomfortable and even unsafe.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:#000000;color:#e061ff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">I believe improving the bus system could be a solution that benefits everyone. More routes and frequent service would make it easier for students to access amenities and get around without a car. Offering affordable or free bus passes could also help alleviate financial burdens for students. Ultimately, it&#8217;s about finding ways to make transportation options more accessible and equitable for all members of the SIUE community.<\/mark><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reflecting on my spatial analysis lab, I&#8217;ve noticed some interesting things about the layout around SIUE.
