New to the U this fall... bike boxes on campus!

Bicycling to the University can be a healthy, cost-effective way for students, faculty, staff, and visitors to get around campus. Biking, no matter if it is once a week or every day of the year, benefits everyone from the reduced traffic congestion to the lowered carbon monoxide emissions and cleaner air.
