USC Tram Service to Monterey Hills Area

To:  USC Transportation Services

We, the undersigned, are petitioning to USC Transportation Services to create a regular weekday tram service from the area of Monterey Hills to the Health Science Campus. Monterey Hills (currently part of the 90042 zip code) is an area enclosed by the cross-streets of Monterey Road and Via Marisol. There is currently no direct and efficient public transportation service from Monterey Hills to the Health Science Campus. Additionally, a significant number of individuals (health students, LA County staff, and medical residents, included) who work and study at the Health Science Campus live in the Monterey Hills vicinity. In fact, the Keck School of Medicine often encourages new students to live in the area because of its pleasant location and close proximity to the Health Science Campus. Based on this information, it would be extremely helpful for USC to provide students, staff and faculty living within the area with a morning and afternoon shuttle that directly transports the residents of Monterey Hills to and from campus. The addition of a shuttle to this area would not only reduce traffic congestion along Soto Street and Mission Road but also offset the environmental damage caused by car emissions. Therefore, a tram of this sort would be beneficial even to those who do not live within Monterey Hills. We hope that you will seriously consider our recommendation.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
