Does the institution have a bicycle-sharing program or participate in a local bicycle-sharing program?:
A brief description of the bicycle sharing program:
Drexel Bike Share is open to all students, faculty and professional staff with a valid Drexel University ID and in good standing with the University. There is no rental fee to use a Drexel Bike Share bike. To be eligible to participate in Drexel Bike Share, the student or employee must complete a Drexel Bike Share Membership Agreement and, prior to each use of Bike Share equipment, a Drexel Bike Share User Agreement, which can both be found on the Drexel Parking Services website. The use of a Drexel Bike Share bike includes a helmet, u-lock, cable and lock key (the “Equipment”). All Bike Share Equipment is picked up and returned to the Drexel Bike Share hub located in the Parking Services Garage Office, Room #124, 3330 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104 (the “Hub”). Drexel makes no representations as to the availability of the Equipment. Use of the Equipment is strictly on a “first come, first served” basis. There are 20 bikes available for use by the Drexel community. On average, more bikes are utilized in good weather than cold or inclement weather. Drexel Parking Services saw the highest rate of usage during the program’s history in November 2012. Maintenance is completed as repairs are needed and include general tune-ups annually.
