A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:

Students on the Macalester College campus receive donated bikes that would otherwise end up in the landfill. They fix up and repair them to redistribute to students in need of a personal bike on campus. The students have so far fulfilled 19 of the 31 requests for bikes and will continue. Students are given a bike, a helmet, and a lock. They can choose to keep the bike after they graduate or donate it to be redistributed again.
