Bikers Incentives
The university offers a few incentives to employees who are registered bicyclists. These benefits include a secure commuter bike storage, access to shower and locker space, as well as a set of complimentary parking cards, which allow for five (5) days of free campus parking per month (contact our office to sign up).
Contact the Campus Assistance Center to rent a locker, and request campus card access to the shower area via the online Building Access Request Form. Once your card has been activated, you will simply swipe your card to get in. There are additional showers available at the University Fitness Center, also accessible via your campus card. Below you will be able to register your bike, plan a safe bike route to campus, find a map of campus bike racks, and much more!
