EZ Rider Scout

June 26, 2007 in News

 West Texas Group.jpgWorking towards his Eagle Scout Badge, Midland high school junior, Taylor Kirwan, made it his mission to build bike racks for EZ Rider passengers at three of the Midland-Odessa Urban Transit District’s busiest bus stops. The 17-year old adeptly made his way through red tape to get approval from the city and the transit district board, coordinated with General Manager, Edward Esparza, took bids and purchased supplies for a project he saw as a community need. Kirwan raised over $1,000 to defray the cost of his building project, and involved a troop of younger scouts as well.
