For the Wayfinding Project, my group and I selected transit navigation for the University of Kansas campus. The KU campus is closed for through traffic during regular school hours and thus the majority of students rely on a combination of walking and riding the bus system. With this in mind we decided the most effective improvement we could make would be to improve the bus transit experience along the most traveled street on campus, Jayhawk Boulevard. 

Using brainstorming strategies we made a list of problems with this major campus street has.  Our group reflected on our own personal experiences as well as polling students and visitors. We noticed that the bus stops and routes were not only confusing for new students and visitors but even for seasoned students.  A major area of frustration for bus riders was which bus was coming and when it would it arrive.  Knowing how long it will take would help them know if it would be faster to walk or if they have to time to wait inside a shelter.
