Letter to the Editor:I would like to clarify information included in the Daily Cal article "Campus Buses, Night Shuttles May Be Given Up to AC Transit" that ran on April 20.
While UC Berkeley is considering turning over the management of its bus service to AC Transit, Berkeley Lab is not part of these negotiations, and is not involved with the campus's decision.
In a separate effort, Berkeley Lab is seeking to provide a more efficient and safer bus service for employees. We are considering the possibility of subcontracting bus services to an outside vendor. This potential move is not a cost-saving measure, and the current level of service will be maintained if not enhanced. As part of the subcontracting process, the Lab will be requiring that vendors provide a plan for hiring all current Lab-career bus drivers. Our intent is to keep our drivers while improving service for our employees and the many students and faculty who come to Berkeley Lab each day.
Paul Alivisatos Interim Director of Lawrence Berkeley National Lab
