Cycling Around Grounds: Bike Share

Our project sought to bolster the research and development of the bike share program already in place with our own polling and research. In order to get a clearer picture of what affect a bike share program would have on people and grounds, we took a short poll on whether or not students would use the bike share program and, if so, whether they would be willing to pay for membership. We also looked into bike share programs at other Universities in the United States in order to garner ideas to contribute to the Parking and Transportation department's current plan. Lastly, we explored various marketing opportunities to ensure that the program would garner substantial use.
