For her Community Profile Project, Vanessa extended her research to a 816 square-mile space in Coachella Valley.  Her writing focuses upon Sunline’s challenges of providing accessible transportation to COD students.  She combines important academic research with her own personal experience.  Woody Allen once said that 80 percent of success in life is just showing up.   I’m probably dating myself here with the mention of Woody Allen, but Vanessa is a dedicated student and an insightful writer.  (And, she always shows up to class!) Her Community Profile reflects her ideas of making our public transportation system safe and reliable for everyone who uses it.
