AU Days of Service 2023; introducing JAGPULSE

It’s that time of year again! May is right around the corner and that means it is time to begin creating and submitting your 2023 AU Days of Service projects. This year’s Days of Service will take place from November 1, 2023 thru November 21, 2023.

This year’s project submission and volunteer sign-up will be processed through Augusta University’s new online community engagement platform, JAGPULSE. Once your project submission is received and approved, an event will be created in the 2023

AU Days of Service subgroup page on JAGPULSE and you will be added as the “Event Manager” for your project. I will send you a link to your event page. This will give you immediate access to your volunteer roster as AU students, faculty, and staff register for projects. For those of you who are already affiliates on JAGPULSE, you do NOT need to post your Days of Service activities on your own page. ALL Days of Service events in November must be posted on the 2023 AU Days of Service page. We will host a virtual information ses- sion on Thursday, May 25 @ 11AM to answer questions you may have about this year’s campaign. We would love to partner with your organization to increase student and employee engagement in your mission and to help you accomplish big things for your organization and our shared community. With that in mind, we hope you will submit your project(s) today. You can submit your project and get more information about Days of Service here: http://dayofservice. augusta.edu/community-partner/

Preliminary analysis of the Augusta Transit Rider and Nonrider/Choice Rider Survey reveals several interesting facts:

• 95% of nonriders/choice riders possess a driver’s license

• 50% of transit riders do not possess a driver’s license

• Augusta Regional Airport and Tobacco Rd are the top two (2) unserved destinations that should be served by transit

• Transit does not go where and when a nonrider/choice rider needs transportation is the primary reason for not using transit in Augusta

• 3 in 10 transit riders would walk if transit were not available

Augusta Transit gives a big thank you to the 900+ persons who participated in the survey. The results provide invaluable input guiding the strategic development of Augusta Transit.

Results also confirm the type of service improvements (electronic payment options) necessary to retain and attract riders.

Augusta Transit is committed in its role to enhance the quality of life for residents.
