CONCLUSION

 RESULTS

        Our sample included 93 students, with 80% of them being freshmen, 12% sophomores, 5% Juniors, and 2% Seniors. 34% of students live on campus, and of these students, 32% of them own a bike. Of the 93 students that were surveyed 27 answered “yes” to the use of a bike rental system, 30 answered “no,” and 36 were “indifferent”. In addition, 64 students were unaware of the FIU Bike Shop that is on-campus. 40 students found the “Panther Mover” system to be an effective method of on-campus transportation, while 53 found it to be an ineffective system

END OF THE ROAD

        Our survey indicates that the majority of students at FIU were not aware of a Bike Shop on campus, while 25% of the sample found the addition of an FIU bike system to be a beneficial component to the campus. While this proportion appears miniscule, 38% of those surveyed considered themselves “indifferent.” This cannot be taken as a definitive yes, or no answer, but there is a possibility that these students would use the rental system. Surprisingly, over 50% of the sample population  agreed that the Panther mover is an ineffective method of on-campus transportation. In hindsight, there were many items to take into consideration in terms of how the study was conducted. The construction of the survey was meant to be user-friendly and was extremely brief, however, the questions were fairly general and did not disclose specifics in terms of  the bike rental service. Specifics such as price were not considered, and the options that were presented to students limited the true extent of our collection of information.
