As our final project, the Alternative Transportation group finalized a proposal for a bike sharing program at Oxy as well as a proposal for funding from the Renewable Energy and Sustainability Fund. However, because we weren’t able to actually start up a bike sharing program during our semester in the class, we decided to also make a website that would not only track our progress on the program, but also be a resource for people who already have bikes on campus. The page includes bike safety tips, bike maintenance, a map of safe streets to bike on, and fun bike routes.
If anyone is interested, I did some research about up-coming bike-related opportunities in Los Angeles.
