Bike Share
Tech’s Bike Share program is funded through the student Green Fee. Not only does this provide an efficient way to navigate around campus, but is also an easy way to practice sustainability, conserve gas, and encourage physical activity.
The Bike Share program currently allows students to check out bikes from the Fitness Center for a two-week period. With the bicycle, the student is provided with a helmet and bike lock.
Bike-related amenities on campus include bike racks at all buildings and bike repair stands available to students at various locations across campus.
