[quote=Anonymous][quote]But at the moment there are 100 or so Murch employees, many of whom drive and probably cannot switch to public transport at the drop of a hat. Should we upend the entire faculty as well? Murch also isn't close to any metro stop. So that should be fun for the staff, carrying all the stuff elementary school teachers carry.[/quote] 1. Car 2 go it if you have stuff to carry. Or.... park on the street! With your RPP. 2. It is much easier to switch to taking public transportation than it is to switch to driving, which requires a car purchase. 3. I'm sorry you live in VA and teach at Murch. Life sucks. I'm sorry for my kid's classmates who live in far SE and commute to upper NW too. Commutes can suck. We all make choices. 4. Giving the faculty RPP would allow them to continue to drive, if that was their choice. I just took a look on streetview. Yes--the immediate area around the school has the heavy traffic, no parking streets--but there are tons of side streets not so far away. And, as I said, most of the residents in this neighborhood have parking behind their homes. Are teh streets still slightly crowded? More than I expected. At least on street view. But perhaps having a harder time parking might incentivize THEM not to have three cars per household. [/quote]
