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:
Several departments operate independent bike sharing programs designed to allow employees to use campus-owned bikes for use around the Corvallis area. Most of these programs are free of charge and organized at the department level.

OSU-Cascades had partnered with Zagster to provide a bike share program for all students, staff, and faculty at OSU-Cascades. Unfortunately that program did not survive the pandemic in spring 2020 and Zagster declared bankruptcy. OSU-Cascades is working to develop a new shared transportation service to be launched in 2021. However, OSU-Cascades has two electric bikes for faculty and staff use only. Bike usage is first-come, first-served.
