9. Rice Bike Project: Your Help Is Needed!
We are students currently enrolled in ENST 302: Environmental Issues: Rice Into the Future. One of the requirements of this course is to propose a project that will have a positive effect on the environment at Rice. Our group has proposed creating a bike share program on campus. Through this program, students would have access to a group of loaner bikes available at each of their colleges. The goal of this is to encourage the use of a more sustainable means of transportation, while participating in a fun and healthy activity. As part of this project, we would like to assess student interest of such a program through a quick and easy online survey. It's only ten questions long, and should not take more than five minutes to complete. We would really, really appreciate your participation! If you are interested in seeing such a program at Rice (and even if you're not), please let us know through this survey. If you have any questions, just shoot us an e-mail. Thank you!!
