Hi Justin,
Thanks for your comment. The extra private bus was added late in the day to avoid students being stranded when the SUS shuttle service ended. The shuttle bus service disruption dictated some quick action to ensure students were not left with just one bus to catch home. This could have led to people being left behind due to capacity issues. SUS did stretch to add additional runs, but hiring the private coach was a sure-fire way to ensure no one was stranded.

UFV has a small committee that does consider a wide range of factors for each campus and we consider the movement of faculty, students and staff and students between these campuses. We do this at 4:30 in the morning and re-evaluate during the day. These are fluid situations and we hope you will understand predicting them is not simple.
We also encourage you to speak with your professors regarding missing class time because of extreme weather. They are aware of the impact of these weather events and the driving conditions faced by all.
