A brief description of the bicycle parking and storage facilities:
The College has bike racks in front of every building, including two covered, secure bike racks that protect bikes from the elements. Students can also request indoor basement storage, and many students choose to take advantage of this option during their co-operative education terms and/or breaks between terms.
Does the institution have a bicycle and pedestrian plan or policy (or adhere to a local community plan/policy) that sets standards and practices for campus streets to enable safe access for all users?:
Yes
A brief description of the bicycle and pedestrian plan or policy:
The College's Master Plan limits cars on campus and keeps vehicle traffic primarily on the campus periphery. As part of the Master Plan, the paths that connect campus buildings are designed to provide safe access for bicyclists and pedestrains; the College restricts cars from these paths. In addition, Antioch has several programs to discourage the use of vehicles on and around campus, including the Antioch College Bike Program led by students to facilitate bicycle sharing and a Bike Registration Program led by Public Safety to help prevent bike thefts.
Does the institution have a bicycle-sharing program or participate in a local bicycle-sharing program?:
Yes
A brief description of the bicycle sharing program:
After studying health benefits of cycling and learning about a bike-sharing program that once existed at the College, several Antioch students created a bicycle co-op. Using some seed money from the College, donated bikes from the Yellow Springs Police and the skilled support of some local bicycle enthusiasts, students learned how to fix and refurbish bicycles. Today six bicycles are ready for students, faculty and staff to rent, free of charge, from the co-op.
