A number of concerns led members of the GSA to propose and vote to support bike trails and a trolley system on campus. The GSA feels that students who ride bikes around campus should have bike paths.
Safety is another concern.
Cyclists must maneuver through pedestrians on the sidewalks or ride in the streets. This poses a safety hazard for both pedestrians and cyclists. The parking spaces are then distributed to non-commuter students and faculty. The Electric Buses would provide more available parking spaces on campus because people could leave their cars at home and take the bus instead. Smart growth is an effort to promote transit stops as close as possible, sidewalks for people to stroll on, cleaner air and the elimination of traffic congestion.
