Does the institution have indoor and secure bike storage, shower facilities, and lockers for bicycle commuters in at least one building?:
A brief description of the facilities:
A number of the dorms and other buildings include bike racks for bicycle storage; UConn has increased its bike racks to 125 located at residential and academic areas.. A comprehensive plan to improve the experience for bicyclists is underway, and can be found below:
The BSC Group, a transportation engineering firm, was recently awarded a contract to produce a comprehensive plan for campus bicycle routes, based on Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements. Preliminary drawings have been created (as of July 2010) and are under DOT review. The drawings and other materials are available through this Website.
The rest of this page is intended to archive the work of students, faculty, and staff in the Institute for Transportation Engineers during the 2004-2005 academic year. Much of their work has since served as an informal Campus Bicycle Plan which will be consulted by the BSC Group in their engineering process
