  • Berkeley Model United Nations ADVISOR GUIDE Dear Advisors, Delegates, and Visitors
    Berkeley Model United Nations ADVISOR GUIDE Dear Advisors, Delegates, and Visitors, I have the distinct honor and privilege of welcoming you all to the Sixty-Ninth Session of Berkeley Model United Nations (BMUN), which will be held from February 26th to 28th, 2021 at the prestigious campus of the University of California, Berkeley. The oldest Model UN conference in the world, BMUN was founded in 1952 by a small group of students at UC Berkeley. For the better part of a century, BMUN has upheld their legacy through thick and thin. Today, the BMUN secretariat continues to orchestrate one of the largest Model United Nations conferences in the world, bolstered by our educational mission and outreach initiatives. Our Secretariat fosters a singularly unique forum where thousands of delegates are empowered to conquer fears of public speaking, learn the value of diplomacy, and contextualize themselves and the issues they debate in the greater geopolitical landscape. Indeed, the skills necessary to succeed at BMUN, from creative problem solving to substantive critical thinking, lend themselves to success in all other pursuits. It is this multidimensionality that we hope to capture at BMUN and beyond. in Model United Nations have a phenomenal capacity to empower high school students. We are therefore continuously striving to expand our reach both in the Bay Area and around the globe. Our constantly evolving Outreach program allows us to conduct workshops with local high schools and provide resources for delegates and advisors in conjunction with our BMUN Learn website. With more in-depth educational initiatives such as our annual Delegate Workshop and Berkeley Model Arab League conferences in addition to international outreach in the form of our BMUN China and BMUN Malta conferences, BMUN is poised to deliver an education experience like no other.

Supplementary Notes http://ao.umn.edu/publications/ http://www.cts.umn.edu/Publications/ResearchReports/ 16. Abstract (Limit: 250 words) Accessibility is the ease of reaching valued destinations. It can be measured across different times of day (accessibility in the morning rush might be lower than the less-congested midday period). It can be measured for each mode (accessibility by walking is usually lower than accessibility by transit, which is usually lower than accessibility by car). There are a variety of ways to measure accessibility, but the number of destinations reachable within a given travel time is the most comprehensible and transparent as well as the most directly comparable across cities. This report examines accessibility to jobs by transit in 49 of the 50 largest (by population) metropolitan areas in the United States.

  • The Travelin' Grampa
    The Travelin’ Grampa Touring the U.S.A. without an automobile Focus on safe, fast, convenient, comfortable, cheap travel, via public transit. Vol. 11, No. 9, September 2018 Photo credit: Sydney Chang, The Daily Californian. AC Transit recently introduced a new 51C bus route to serve the Berkeley campus of the University of California, which also is served by its 51A and 51B buses, two of its busiest routes, with more than 19,000 riders daily, linking Berkeley, Oakland, Alameda and intermediate stops, including four BART subway-elevated rail system stations. September is back to school month for public transit When Grampa was a boy, presenters from the local public transit system came to his elementary school once a year, putting on an interesting, entertaining and educational show, emphasizing how to ride enjoyably and safely on its streetcars and buses. He recalls they cited the perils of boys “hitching rides” on the sides of a trolley car, or of roller skating while holding onto one. Decades afterward, public transit systems seemed to largely ignore kids, focusing instead on daily commuters. Lately, however, as the following pages attest, they are paying attention to kids again. Small wonder. Of the 1.6-million Chicago Transit Authority weekday riders, for example, some 135,000, one in 10, are of school-age. About 107,000, ride on buses and 28,000 on “L” (subway elevated) trains. This seems typical. Nationwide, 10% of bus and 4% of rail riders are age 19 or younger, while 7% are students, says an American Public Transportation Association report.
