Does the institution have a bicycle-sharing program or participate in a local bicycle-sharing program?:
A brief description of the bicycle sharing program:
The Green Bike Program is an opportunity for students to rent a commuter bike for a semester or the whole school year to get to and from campus or to work. Green Bikes are donated bikes repaired in our shop and spray painted Green. With each bike we include a U-Lock and a helmet as well as free repairs in our shop. We conduct a lottery at the beginning of each semester as we typically have more applicants than bikes.
Additionally, Gonzaga has partnered with Lime in order to provide rentable bicylces and electric scooters for students.
