Grocery Bus Pilot Program
Central Student Government (CSG) is piloting a grocery bus service on January 24 and 25 to improve student access to groceries and everyday essentials. This pilot is part of CSG’s ongoing efforts to make campus life more convenient and accessible for students. By testing this service, we hope to gather feedback, measure demand, and determine how best to expand or refine the route in the future, with the goal of potentially establishing a permanent grocery bus route in the future.
