Yes
A brief description of other programs or initiatives to encourage more sustainable modes of transportation and/or reduce the impact of student and employee commuting:
In 2017, as an extension of SUNY Oswego's BikeShare program, an intern at our Office of Sustainability created and launched our BusShare app. While running the BikeShare program, they wanted to solve the problem of access to transportation during the winter. By downloading and using this app you can navigate bus routes to get you from point A to point B faster and more efficiently through public transit. As the City of Oswego has installed and created more bus stops and routes, the BusShare program has become the primary mode of transportation for many in the community.
