ASUO Senate created a working group to write a resolution regarding an EmX bus expansion at Wednesday night’s meeting.
The Lane Transit District is looking to expand routes all the way down West 11th, and since this directly affects students, Sen. Molly Bacon said that students should have a voice in the expansion decision.
Sen. Emma Newman talked about a previous EmX resolution discussed by Senate.@@names before all correct@@
“There have been changes since this one, so I think it would be important to include those,” Newman said.
