Off Campus College Transport, Inc., or OCCT, is Binghamton University's student driven, managed, and operated bus service for Binghamton University students, faculty, and staff. OCCT offers "safe, reliable, convenient, consistent, and courteous transportation to the Binghamton University community."[1] OCCT offers additional services such as Lift service for passengers with disabilities[2] and Charter services for organizations and groups associated with Binghamton University.[3] The transportation service is provided at no additional cost to students, although service is paid for through fees collected with tuition.[4] The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Student Association of Binghamton University, Inc.

History
OCCT from its founding was run as a fully democratic, student-owned and operated cooperative until 1995. That summer, a lock-out followed when the student cooperative voted to shut down during the summer until the university administration backed off of its attempts to install a new coordinator.[5]
The organization is currently run by a full-time Director. The Board of Directors consists of both voting and non-voting members from the Student Association of Binghamton University, Inc. and the Binghamton University administration. Funding for service is provided by the student transportation fee, which is collected with tuition, by the Student Association, and by the Graduate Student Organization. The Board of Directors is chaired by the Student Association Vice President for Finance. In 2015, OCCT released an app, ETA SPOT, to provide real time tracking for their bus service.[6]
