To the Editor:
On Nov. 7, 2011, an article was published entitled "Saferide rolls out service updates," and there was subsequently an editorial commending the Transportation Office for its changes. The article described the extensive reforms and new services that the Transportation Office was offering to improve the Saferide program. Through no fault of the author, the article failed to mention that these reforms and improvements occurred as a result of numerous meetings that members of the Undergraduate Council of Students had with Transportation Office staff. In an effort to ensure that the hard work of the UCS members was recognized, we reached out to our contact in the Transportation Office who submitted a request for a correction to the Brown Daily Herald. Because Herald policy states that corrections only exist for factual errors, this letter serves to proclaim that while many of the changes that the Transportation Office has implemented are not ideas directly from UCS, the role that UCS members played in relaying student dissatisfaction was pivotal in the Transportation Office's decision to reform Saferide.
