Abstract
Our idea is to work with Student Accessibility Services and the University to implement electric golf carts as transportation for students, staff and visitors who have a disability or are injured. The implementation of this idea would ensure that they are able to attend classes, meetings, and/or other important events that are crucial to academic success and in line with University goals in a timely manner. Without this program, students at Kent State who have a disability or are temporarily injured must find an alternative way to travel between classes and meetings. Those alternatives include: existing services through PARTA, rideshare services, and simply walking to classes. All of which are inefficient, inconvenient, and may even be an additional cost. They could even further injure students, visitors, or faculty members. This idea aims to improve student life and make our campus more accessible to a wider range of students. Going along with the University’s efforts to be more sustainable, these golf carts will be one hundred percent electric as to cut down on emissions from gas golf carts. Another benefit to the golf carts would be to create jobs for students who work while they go to school.

Modified Abstract

Our idea is to work with Student Accessibility Services and the University to implement electric golf carts as transportation for students, staff and visitors who have a disability or are injured. The implementation of this idea would ensure that they are able to attend classes, meetings, and/or other important events that are crucial to academic success and in line with University goals in a timely manner. Without this program, students at Kent State who have a disability or are temporarily injured must find an alternative way to travel between classes and meetings; those alternatives may not be as feasible or convenient. This idea aims to improve student life and make our campus more accessible to a wider range of students.
