Does the institution have a bicycle-sharing program or participate in a local bicycle-sharing program?:
Yes

CSUMB contracted with Spin beginning in January 2020 to provide an electric scooter-share program on campus. Approximately 200+ scooters were available 24/7, anywhere on campus, to all students, faculty and staff for a low price. This service was temporary withdrawn from campus during the 2020-2021 Academic Year due to the global pandemic and largely remote learning/working status of the campus. In addition, the Otter Cycle Center is a student-run program providing students access to multi-geared road and mountain bikes on a semester loan basis. More than 60 rental bikes are available.

Bicycle and pedestrian planning is centrally integrated into the Campus Master Plan. Several internal campus roads are closed to private automobiles to provide a safer space for pedestrians and bicyclists.
