This Ambassador Blog Post is from Commuter Challenge Ambassador Jennifer Z.  She works at the Kresge Library at the UM.

Mike Rice, the Bus Ambassador for the Kresge Library at UM, began his promotion campaign today by providing bus schedules in the staff kitchen at the Library (see above).   The first stack disappeared in under an hour.  It probably helps that he has placed them in the spot that is usually reserved for free food.  The note with arrow doesn’t hurt, either.
