Exhibit C <br />2 <br />Shuttle Service <br />NORTHWESTERN will operate a Transit Bus to shuttle students (and faculty if desired) from <br />the main campus at 3003 Snelling Avenue to the Smiths Medical facility at 1265 Grey Fox Road <br />in Arden Hills. <br /> Monday thru Friday Service – It is anticipated that the shuttle service will operate five <br />days a week, Monday through Friday roughly between the hours of 7am and 3pm. Shuttle <br />service may continue beyond 3pm with a 12 passenger van offering service. Weekend <br />service TBD. <br /> Relocate a Faculty member rather than a whole class - It is the University’s intention to <br />establish and alter its class schedule in such a manner as to limit as much as is reasonably <br />possible the number of students being shuttled between the two campus locations. An <br />example would be to have a single faculty member travel to the north campus to teach a <br />particular class rather than shuttle 20-30 students to the main campus for the class just to <br />have them re-shuttled back to the north campus one hour later. This will be an annual and <br />on-going schedule evaluation process done with the benefit of the students’ needs in <br />mind. <br /> Designated Route – The shuttle will approach the facility from the south by traveling <br />north on Snelling Avenue and turning east on Grey Fox Rd. and then turning in to the <br />parking lot at the second drive and then off loading/on loading passengers at the main <br />entrance. After departing, the shuttle will head east on Grey Fox Road and stop at the <br />railroad track and then take a right and head south on Lexington Avenue. It will need to <br />stop for the railroad track another time on Lexington before turning right and heading <br />west on County Road E. The bus will then cross Snelling Avenue and turn left and head <br />south on Snelling Avenue back towards the main campus. See route image below. <br /> Frequency of Trips – Based on initial studies of how long it takes to complete a loop <br />from the main campus to this facility it appears that the shuttle could make three trips per <br />hour. Based on class times and load levels, however, it seems likely that the frequency <br />will be closer to 2.5 times per hour, perhaps five times for every two hours. This exact <br />schedule has yet to be determined.
