Citylink, Edmond's public transportation system, offers bus service through and around campus on Route 4, known as Broncholink.
Broncholink ridership has increased from 7,675 in 2008-09 when the service was operated by Metro Transit to 31,874 rides in 2010-2011, the third year Edmond has run the service. City leaders estimate ridership next year will top 45,850.
The ridership has increased to the point where a larger bus is now needed to handle the route, said Shannon Entz, community development manager.
The Outside the Bus Award for Best College Connection was presented for setting a standard for regional, college support through Citylink's service to the University of Central Oklahoma.
The university has paid $200,437 for the next fiscal year for the bus service for the students. City council members accepted the payment this year.
