Cycling Improvements Survey


The University is currently engaged in the development of a University Campus Master Plan. One vital component of this planning process is an analysis of transportation systems including bicycle commuting. Cyclists and non-cyclists alike can help us to better understand where and what kind of facilities are most needed for the support of bicycle commuters. Please assist us by filling out the following survey.

Bike Rack

High Security Personal Bike Locker

Are the existing fitness centers at the River Campus and the Medical Center adequate in providing shower, locker, and changing facilities to bicycle commuters? If not, why?

If you are or would be a bicycle commuter, would you make use of a personal bike locker if you were required to pay a small fee?

Yes
No

Is there anything more you would like to tell us about biking routes, bicycle facilities, incentives, cyclist focused programming or resources, etc.?
