UCLA Transportation working to increase ridership for Westwood FlyAway service

UCLA Transportation is working to alert students of Westwood FlyAway’s services in an effort to increase the line’s ridership.

The FlyAway, which reports debt and insufficient ridership, is in a six-month probationary period that will continue through fall quarter and end after winter break with an evaluation sometime in late January, said Penny Menton, senior associate director of events and transportation.

Fare to travel from LAX to Westwood one-way in either direction increased in late summer from $5 to $10.

UC-level online courses will be available to students in January

The University of California Online Instruction Pilot Project will make UC-level courses available online to UC students in January.

Originally proposed by the UC Office of the President and heavily promoted by Christopher Edley, dean of UC Berkeley’s law school, the project was intended to be expansive “”mdash; like an 11th UC campus but web-based, said Robert Anderson, chair of the UC Academic Senate.

UCOP hoped to raise $30 million in outside support.
