4/17/2025 23:30:16Access to campus and grocery stores and shops. Since I live off campus (Lark/ Alight region) and do not have a car, I am dependent on the bus. Without off campus transit, I will avoid going to campus that often and look for remote/ online classes and research.

4/17/2025 23:52:03My job.
21
4/18/2025 0:14:33My brother and my schedule don't always align so it can be hard to carpool to campus or head back home if one of us has a late night. Also saving money on parking with things being congested on some days is really convenient or if my car is in the shop I can still find a way to campus from my apartment without having to worry about extra costs.

23
4/18/2025 1:22:39I use off-campus transit to get groceries, clothing, medical care, vet care, and most other forms of shopping. Although I would be able to afford a pass and wouldn’t “lose access” to these, it would make them more expensive.

55
4/28/2025 15:07:44It would become expensive to travel in west lafayette. I don’t have any other means of transport.
56
4/29/2025 8:46:13Going to campus and going to the supermarket to get groceries and going pretty much anywhere. Not being on a bus route is quite limiting. Specially when you don’t have a car.
57
4/29/2025 13:24:52Grocery store access to Walmart, haircut access, certain busy work places like car dealerships and post office info, fun or a place to go besides campus

4/29/2025 14:03:12I will not be able to get to class or the grocery store.
60
4/29/2025 14:08:04I use the CityBus free off-campus transit routes to get campus for my classes daily. I would also lose access to grocery shopping if I lost free transit.
61
4/29/2025 16:40:35I have no car so I couldn’t really go to Walmart or to Tippecanoe when I need it. I will be forced to carry groceries to on campus housing where I live. That would be really difficult

5/1/2025 10:10:16Groceries & a way to campus
64
5/1/2025 20:33:55We were told our student had to use off campus residency. We pay over $800 to rent a room due to Purdue not having dorms for my student. We rely on the off campus bus to get my student to and from off campus housing. This service needs to remain part of the student life. It is a service that he will not be able to pay for.
65
5/2/2025 9:10:45I won’t be able to transport to school every day. The cost of living is already pretty high, and hard students like me are not receiving enough to cover all of our expenses.
66
5/2/2025 13:39:25Loosing peace of mind, access to grocery stores and department stores, access to off campus hospitals, and most importantly access to routes that directly connect to my off campus housing
67
5/2/2025 13:44:51More convenient access to Walmart and other events further out off campus since I live off campus.

70
5/2/2025 14:15:42Daily (or often more frequent) transit to and from campus for classes, work and organizational activities. It is key for me to access my work space and supporting services from the university. This transport is also critical for health and well being, for instance access to PUSH and other services or the CoREC.
71
5/2/2025 14:44:37My freedom to explore the area. My ability to easily connect with friends off campus. Access to shopping areas.

75
5/3/2025 11:18:57I will be unable to get to my job or to campus. I live in Lafayette and rely on 2 off-campus routes to get to campus. I do not own a car nor do I have the means to get a car, and even if I did, I cannot afford on-campus parking. The bus is my only option, and if I cannot take off-campus routes, I will be unable to get to class.
76
5/3/2025 12:13:30Grocery shopping (Walmart) is a big one. Also, transportation to get to the City Bus Center to transfer to a different bus
77
5/3/2025 13:25:22getting to, and from campus will be more difficult
78
5/3/2025 13:26:47My work, groceries,
79
5/3/2025 14:15:31I cannot go home or buy groceries without making a payment for buses if Purdue discontinues support. With meager wages, and extremely high rents, not having a free transit will be an obstacle for my education.

81
5/3/2025 14:18:05Commuting to campus

90
5/4/2025 12:30:09Everything! I rely on off campus route to commute to Purdue Campus. How can I come to lab if there is no off campus bus route?
91
5/4/2025 16:05:15***GOING TO LAB****
92
5/4/2025 22:01:51I live off-campus so I will incur additional costs to get on-campus, plus will have to pay for all rides to go to shopping centres for clothes/groceries etc.
93
5/5/2025 2:30:21Walmart, if I ever need to go to access good healthcare it would be a lot harder
