Wra 101 Project 3 Revision Plan

Owen Downey, Olivia Mazzola, Drake Myny WRA 101 Project 3 March 20, 2019 Project 3 Revision Plan For our project, we have identified an issue on Michigan State University’s campus regarding the transportation system and how it is affecting students largely. We talked about the CATA buses being overcrowded and the implications that it is having on student success here at MSU. We talked to CATA executive Lolo Robinson to get insight into what is being done on CATA’s end to combat this issue. She was able to provide us with many useful answers, but also told us that they were not currently working on changing the bus routes for next year, so we decided to focus on that for the final draft of our paper. CATA was already taking steps in the directions that we proposed. In the working draft, we did not have many sources yet, so that is something that is going to need to be addressed while working on the final draft. For the working draft, however, we were very successful in getting out points across. We accurately pinpointed a problem that was being felt around campus and we made several good possible solutions for the issue that we saw. We also contacted the right people and got the necessary information to create a detailed plan of action for what we were planning on accomplishing. In all, we did very well in making a detailed, accurate outline for the issue that we want to address in our final paper. The process of righting the draft was very easy, our group dynamic works very well and we can easily collaborate with each other. The only issue we ran into when making the draft was the response time of those that we chose to contact, as their schedules were very tight, as were ours.

To succeed in the final paper, we must get our sources together in a way that makes sense and can easily persuade CATA to change their bus routes to more effectively serve the student body at MSU. This is a doable solution because the foundation is already there, we are simply proposing that CATA make their bus routes into smaller, more efficient chunks that will be mutually beneficial.
