That's really cool! I really could have benefited from a program like that as a college freshman, especially the bike tune up and discount Greyhound tickets.

My university had a different strategy - they simply would not sell parking passes to freshmen living on campus. So, the only freshmen with cars were a few from wealthy families who could afford the astronomical fees for off-campus monthly parking.

Doing two semesters without a car was definitely helpful when I wanted/needed to reduce my dependence on a vehicle as an adult. I learned valuable skills like how to walk places safely, use public transit, and ride a bicycle in the rain and snow.
