Promoting campus sustainability and

Easy Streets

Bike-Share @ LSU

Establish bicycle rental stations at the outer edges of campus that will

encourage automobile commuters to park further from campus, ride a

bicycle to class, and reduce traffic on typically congested campus streets.

Organizations and Departments

Once the bikes are present on campus there will be need of upkeep and preservation of the bikes as well as their check out stations. By examining other universities policies and practices we hope to then form a plan on how to properly outfit and maintain the bikes.

We are currently seeking advice and feedback from other universities on their practices and policies of their bike share programs.
