The WATA bus system is a great resource for students on and off campus to get around Williamsburg. As an undersecretary of sustainability and an advisor on the WATA Advisory Committee, I sought students' feedback and advocated for improving bus service including extending bus service hours for line 8. Over the past few years, we have seen the hours extended from 6 PM to 9 PM and now 11 PM. 

As a Senator, to further work towards better bus service, I will coordinate with WATA and William & Mary Transportation Services to advocate for extending service to the weekend.

When we amplify student voices we strengthen advocacy for improving local services. Bringing people together for a dialogue can be an impactful way to understand students' transportation needs in Williamsburg.

As a Senator, I will organize student roundtable conversations to discuss improvements to the WATA bus system, ensuring that student voices are heard.

With W&M phasing out Express dollars on December 31, 2025, students will want to get the most out of their remaining Express dollars as they spend down their balances.

As a Senator, I will work to introduce a bill to bring down the cost of printing. Helping students to get more bang for their buck and hopefully preventing some students from needing to add more money to their Express accounts.

In the Department of Sustainability, we worked together to secure funding to replace broken air pumps for Fixit bike repair stations. While working on that project, I realized that one of the Fixit stations, previously found at the Rec, was removed as part of construction for the new Mackesy Sports Performance Center. This has left a gap in the Fixit station network and filling that gap will ensure that this helpful resource will be accessible to the growing number of students who are living in this part of campus in the West Woods 1 and future West Woods 2 and 3 developments.

As a Senator, I will work to bring the missing Fixit station back to west campus.

Last semester, President Zoe Wang and I worked together with WM TSwap to bring the swap to the Crim Dell Meadow. The thrift swap was a success, and it has made me excited to 

As a Senator, I will work to bring the thrift swap back. I will also work with senators to ensure that we work with students and provide funding for events that give all students opportunities to be a part of campus life.

Although the water bottle-filler network is robust at William & Mary, some key gaps on campus should be filled. In the academic buildings around the Sunken Garden, including James Blair, Washington, Chancellors, and Tucker Halls, these stations are either absent from key floors or entirely missing from the building.

Although William & Mary has technical standards that require bottle-filling stations for "new buildings and major renovations," many academic buildings are unlikely to see renovations anytime soon (i.e. Chancellors and Tucker Hall). In addition, buildings marked for "moderate renovations" but not "major renovations" in the campus comprehensive plan (i.e. Washington and James Blair Hall) may also not see these stations for a long time under this standard. Students would greatly benefit from these stations now, especially in buildings like James Blair Hall where stations are absent on every floor.

As a Senator, I will work to secure funding for stations to fill key gaps on campus. These new stations will strengthen the bottle-filler network, encourage the use of reusable bottles, and improve student quality of life.
