To add flexibility to your commute to the University, Parking and Transportation Services has bike racks on all Campus Connector and Washington Avenue Bridge Circulator buses. These bike racks make it easier for you to get around and between campuses faster and more efficiently. Best of all, the added flexibility of combining bikes and buses will extend your reach--bike to the St. Paul Student Center, put your bike on the bus and ride all the way to the West Bank--while helping you save money on parking and other travel expenses.

How To Load Or Unload Bikes On Buses

• Let the driver know you want to load or unload your bike. Always load your bike from the curbside.
• If the rack is empty, lift the metal handle, and pull the folded bike rack down flat. If another bike is on the rack, load your bike in the open position.
• Unhitch and raise the support arm until it is upright. Release the support arm over the front tire. Be sure that the support arm is resting on top of the tire, not on the fender or frame.
• Make sure that your bike is free of water bottles and other loose items.
• After unloading your bike, wait until the bus has passed. Never cross in front of the bus.
