You wouldn’t believe how many times I’ve woken up just minutes before my 8:00 a.m. class. After rushing through the essentials and stepping out of my dorm, that familiar sinking feeling hits me: I’m a good 15-minute walk from class. If I try to avoid showing up sweaty, it’s more like 20 minutes. Inevitably, I find myself walking in 10 minutes late, awkwardly squeezing into the only available seat right in the middle of the room, having all these eyes staring at my sweaty self.

USC students commute to class a number of ways: on foot or by car, bike, skateboard as well as the occasional Razor scooter. During prime hours, getting around can get a little clustered and cause unwarranted collisions—especially during the first week of school when many first attempt to brave the intersection at Jefferson and Hoover. If everyone was on the same page, the ebb and flow of student transportation would be much more efficient and less dangerous, too.
