I support the implementation of bicycle racks on the Off Campus College Transport (OCCT) buses. The BU community should use bicycles in conjunction with public transportation in order to conserve resources and become a more sustainable society.
The Broome County bus system (BC Transit) currently uses bike racks. There is no reason the greater Binghamton University community should not use them too.
The emails I send to administration are still met with silence but I am not walking away from this. It is exhausting to keep pushing when no one wants to listen yet the reality of our commute remains the same. I will keep finding ways to put this in front of them until they have no choice but to respond.

Seeing this much energy behind the idea of bike racks on OCCT buses is exhausting but it keeps me going. The momentum has shifted from a quiet request into something that people are actually discussing on campus. I am tired of the bureaucratic delays but this response proves that we are pushing in the right direction.
