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:
Northern Arizona University's Yellow Bike Program (YBP) - a free community bike program with a secure and reliable checkout system.
To check out a yellow bike, visit the Du Bois Center or the University Union to fill out a liability waiver, and present your NAU ID. You will be provided a bike, lock, key, and a helmet (upon request). Hours are 7:30 AM to 7 PM Monday through Friday.
Bikes (including lock, key, and helmet) must be returned within seven days. If there is not a waiting list, you may check out the bike again if you would like for another seven days.
Possible Charges (For items lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair):
• Bike - $100
• Lock - $25
• Helmet - $15
• Key - $5
Note: Regular wear and tear such as a popped tire, scratches, etc. will not be charged though we do ask that you report these kinds of issues.
In the Fall of 2019, the Green Fund allocated $26,000.00 to purchase 100 new bikes, helmets, locks and lights to revamp the bike fleet. Currently there are 52 bikes remain and many have been pieced together from parts off of old, retired bikes. The bike mechanics are University Union and Event staff.

Another example of a Car Sharing program is in our motor pool in Planning Design and Construction, where vehicles are rented out on an as needed basis. It is incredibly successful and is serving as a model for what could happen across Facility Services within the trades.
The Babbit Administration Building also has a Chevy Volt for all occupants to use.
