Bird just updated their Big Rapids map to include Ferris’ campus as the semester begins. With more than 80% of classes projected to be in-person and this new mode of transportation, campus will be alive again.

On April 5, Big Rapids city commissioners gave a memorandum of understanding to Bird Rides, Inc. to operate a fleet of about 50-75 electric scooters throughout the city, according to the Big Rapids Pioneer.

Ferris’ social media manager Sandy Gholston provided some context to the campus update.
