- Leave early – allow plenty of time for traffic,
parking, weather conditions, etc.
- Always plan an alternate
route in case of road closings, heavy traffic, or any other obstacles
to arriving on time. It’s also
a good idea to check train and bus schedules ahead of time
in case of trouble.
- Keep emergency supplies (a jack, spare
tire, jumper cables, etc) in your car at all times.
- Make sure
your car is always in proper working order; get frequent tune-ups.
- Look
into alternative transportation such as carpools, buses, or trains.
These are great ways to save gas and
can be lifesavers
if your car breaks down.
- Call your professors if
you should get stranded or snowbound and are unable to make it
to class. If
your
professors
are not in, leave a message with the department secretary
so
they know
that you did try to reach them at the office.
- If
you are stranded on-campus, de-icer and other quick fixes can
be found at Sykes Information Desk.
If the
problem is more
serious, call Public Safety at 610-436-3311. If
you are unable to drive home because of bad weather,
contact Sykes Student
Union, where the Off Campus Services program is
located.
- Consider planning your class schedule to avoid
high traffic and parking times.
- Even if you
don’t have to, you may find that parking at South Campus may
actually save time
– no endless
laps of
full North
Campus meters and/or lots.
- Drive safely
and buckle up!
