One Million Riders!
(11/20/08)
During the week of November 10, 2008, we officially reached one-million riders for the current fiscal year!
To show our appreciation of the support that the GVSU Community shows to the bus system, we're having a contest to see who can guess the date and time (to the nearest half-hour) when we'll reach two-million riders. Click here to submit your guess!


New Link: West Michigan Transit Linkages Study (11/5/08)
In February 2007, Ottawa County was awarded a Service Development and New Technology (SDNT) Grant from the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT).  The SDNT Grant will be utilized to complete a needs assessment and feasibility study of commuter transit services in the West Michigan area. 
Grand Valley State University will assist Ottawa County with the facilitation and coordination of the study. Click here to view transit study website

Campus Challenge! September 22 through September 26
(9/15/08)
Compete with campuses around Michigan to see who are the greenest commuters. Campuses will be competing to see who can make the most trips to and from campus using a mode other than one person driving alone in a car.

To participate, register at Grand Valley's
GreenRide website. Create a profile, and then click on the "CommuterTracker" button. For each day the week of September 22, select how you commuted to and from GVSU.

The goal is to have the most alternative commutes -- trips taken in anything besides the "one person one car" model. The campus that has the most alternate commutes for its size wins!

To begin, go to GVSU's new
GreenRide website and create your profile.


Adding Bus to Route 50!
(9/9/08)
We are adding another bus from 7a - 10p on the Campus Connector!  It will be added for Monday - Friday (Friday, it will stop at 6p as the others do for the Weekend Connector to start).  The frequency will change from every 7 minutes to every 6 minutes. This additional bus will start Wednesday morning 9/10/08.
