As many of you may know, VCU has decided to cut back on important funding for the bus system and yet pours funding into its growing athletics program and new infrastructure. Many students reside in the areas surrounding campus and count on the bus to get them to and from the campus. As of May 2014 the university has reduced the RamRide hours to 7am-7pm. Many classes do not end until as late as 9:40pm. This new policy leaves a great deal of students without the proper transportation in a city where violent crime and burglary are all too common. Please sign my petition and help VCU realize just how important those last three hours are to those who walk to and from class.
