Blue Raider Shuttle friendly To LWC students, environment Bus is gift to college by Columbia Walmart Supercenter Click on headline for complete story plus photo By Duane Bonifer COLUMBIA, KY - A partnership between Lindsey Wilson College and Wal-Mart helps the environment and students stretch their dollars. Lindsey Wilson officials re-launched the Blue Raider Shuttle this week. The 15-passenger van, which was purchased with money donated to the college by the Columbia Walmart Super Center, shuttles students twice a day during weekdays and once a day on weekends from the A.P. White Campus to the Wal-Mart store on Exit 46 of the Louie B. Nunn Parkway. The free service was created to meet the needs of resident students who do not have cars, according to Catie Bilz, an apartment manger and student services graduate assistant who helps oversee the program. When Wal-Mart was closer to campus, it was easier for students to walk there, but when it moved to its new location, they couldnt walk more than three miles each way, Bilz said. So we decided to find a creative solution to meet our students needs, and Wal-Mart stepped in and help us out.The Blue Raider Shuttle runs to Wal-Mart 1:00pm and 7:00pmCT Monday-Friday and 1:00pmCT on Saturday and Sunday. It returns to campus about an hour later. But we will stay as long as we need to for the students, Bilz said.The Blue Raider Shuttle is operated by Bilz and International Student Campus Activities Coordinator Dustin Harris. In addition to providing students a valuable service, the Blue Raider Shuttle is also environmentally friendly. Because students dont have to drive to Wal-Mart, we are keeping several cars off the road and that helps out the environment, Bilz said.The writer, Duane Bonifer, is Director of Public Relations at Lindsey Wilson College, Columbia, KY This story was posted on 2009-08-26 04:38:09
