The six bikes are now leased out to students at a semester or year basis, affecting up to 12 students each year. Additional funds were used to install a free bike maintenance station at the student union which is available to the entire campus students, faculty and staff.

Student Ambassadors and the Student Senate worked together to connect students dining at the campus dining hall to their food's origin.
