Our Bike Share program is student operated through our Bike Share Assistants. The Bike Share program is a free campus program that encourages students, staff, and faculty to use alternative transportation like our bike fleet instead of vehicles. Through the bike share we provide education programming and support the needs of our Bike Share constituents. Our Bike Share Assistants receive hands on training in how to license, rent, and maintain our bike fleet. Bikes are available to rent for up to 24 hours per day, and they can be used on campus or in the surrounding downtown area.
