Current Status: Adopted by the Assembly, Unanimous Consent, 04/16/2026
Whereas, students have historically had low access to transit to the Syracuse and Ithaca airports,
Whereas, the transit that is available, such as Uber, is often expensive or not available at times when students need to get to the airport,
Whereas, the previous shuttle initiatives have demonstrated high interest from the student population and received positive feedback,
Be it therefore resolved, $10668.87 be transferred from the Student Assembly Reserve Account to the Office of the Dean of Students.
Be it further resolved, the tickets for these buses shall be at no charge to undergraduate students.
Be it further resolved, these funds will be used to charter buses multiple times after the finish of finals to both the Ithaca and Syracuse airports,
Be it further resolved, students shall sign up for transport via Campus Groups on a first-come, first-serve basis,
Be it finally resolved, these funds shall be severable, and any funds that are unused in this initiative shall be reappropriated to the Student Assembly Reserve Account after the end of the Spring 2026 academic term.
Respectfully Submitted,
Hayden Watkins
Vice President for Finance, Student Assembly
Zora deRham ’27
