Programming Features

EMU Bike Center will support and expand bicycle use on campus. A world-class bicycle facility, it will provide access to bicycles, maintenance services, education and trip planning resources to the entire University of Oregon community. The EMU renovation will require an addition of hundreds of bike parking spaces. Out of this requirement, we can create an exceptional facility to showcase our commitment to sustainability, equality and a healthy campus.

Mission Statement With a central, dedicated facility, we seek to double UO bike mode share from 17% to 34% by 2020, and in so doing we will:

improve access to campus by all modes of transportation create a more livable campus environment improve access to bicycles and bicycling resources for all students, especially those who are

underrepresented socio-economically invest student fees in the most socially responsible and economical manner decrease students’ out-of-pocket expenses to attend college improve student and staff health, reduce health care costs and relieve stress maintain leadership in innovative bicycle infrastructure and encouragement programming

Bikes for long-term loan and day rentals Bikes for conference, departments and special events Refurbish and sell impounded bikes to students Drop-off fee-based maintenance service 9 AM – 5 PM Do-it-yourself maintenance shop 9 AM – 5 PM Limited retail to support bike commuters and DIY maintenance

Budget

EMU Bike Center seeks financial support from incidental fees. Nearly half of the 107K annual operating budget could be supported by integrating identified revenue streams. The program ultimately seeks to decrease students’ out-of-pocket expenditures on transportation.
