Does the institution have a bicycle-sharing program or participate in a local bicycle-sharing program?:
A brief description of the bicycle sharing program:
Northern Arizona University's Yellow Bike Program (YBP) - a free community bike program with a secure and reliable checkout system. We are also currently in the process of looking into an e-scooter-sharing program.
To check out a yellow bike, visit the DuBois Center or the University Union to fill out a liability waiver, and present your NAU ID. You will be provided a bike, lock, key, and helmet (upon request). Hours are 7:30 AM to 7 PM Monday through Friday.
Bikes (including lock, key, and helmet) must be returned within seven days. If there is not a waiting list, you may check out the bike again if you would like for another seven days.
Possible Charges (For items lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair):
• Bike - $100
• Lock - $25
• Helmet - $15
• Key - $5
Note: Regular wear and tear such as a popped tire, scratches, etc. will not be charged though we do ask that you report these kinds of issues.
We currently have over 150 bikes, that are repaired by University Union and Event Staff bike mechanics when damaged.

Does the institution have incentives or programs to encourage employees to live close to campus?:
A brief description of the incentives or programs to encourage employees to live close to campus:
EcoPASS bus program: The University has partnered with the Northern Arizona Transportation Authority to create a public bus route that travels through campus and into the surrounding community. This bus route is free for all employees of the University and doesn't require a fare if you board on campus. Also, all Staff and Faculty can buy a year-long bus pass for $25 (the value is $440). Many bus stops in the local community would allow employees to take alternative transportation to work every day.
Does the institution have other programs or initiatives to encourage more sustainable modes of transportation and/or reduce the impact of student and employee commuting?:
A brief description of other programs or initiatives to encourage more sustainable modes of transportation and/or reduce the impact of student and employee commuting:
Van Pool Program sponsored by Mountain Lion is a new Coconino County commuter vanpool program for a group of five to twelve people.
TransLoc is a real-time bus GPS location monitoring that lets you know exactly when the bus is coming. This provides a better user experience for bus riders.
We list the VRide carpooling program for staff and faculty (provided by a partner and marketed by the university).
EcoPASS: Parking/Shuttle Services offers EcoPASS to staff and faculty at $25 to use the city bus system which eliminates the need to drive to campus.
