Bike Ready Wildcats

The Bike Ready Wildcats project is assisting Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) with the repair, maintenance, and upgrading of four self-service bike repair stations located throughout campus, each of which would be fully stocked with the supplies required for minor bike repairs. This project will help impact the planning and development of bike facilities for the thousands of Wildcats who bike to campus every day, while also keeping unneeded material out of the landfill.

The Campus Sustainability Fund is subsidizing the relocation of bike repair stations to more visible and high-traffic places to make use of the additional benefits of enhanced lighting and proximity to emergency Blue light phones. This would reduce the possibility of bike theft and vandalism on campus. This project aims to be a catalyst in realizing UArizona's goal of carbon neutrality by 2040. Commuters to campus created more than 13% of the University's total carbon dioxide emissions in 2019, and the Bike Ready Wildcats project aims to encourage individuals to improve their behavior by making cycling a more appealing option for commuters.
