Prospective bus companies received an invitation to bid on the University’s new bus system Friday. Gary Graham, Office of Parking, Traffic and Transportation director, said bidding will end March 31, and the company who provides the lowest bid while meeting the University’s specifications will win. A GPS locator system, a passenger counting system, University colors and logos on the buses and new routes are among the University’s specifications. Graham said the bus service will be in place for fall 2009.  —-Contact Brianna Paciorka at [email protected]
