Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Stanford has nearly 100 bikes publicly available for free through various bike-sharing programs on- and off-campus. Each department, school, and program at Stanford, no matter how large or how small, can start a bike share program. An online guide walks interested groups through the process (http://sustainable.stanford.edu/sites/sem.stanford.edu/files/documents/how_to_bike_share.pdf). Such fleets have been established for many groups on campus, including the School of Medicine, the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, the Department of Sustainability and Energy Management, and many others.

Although there are many avenues for bike fleet creation, many groups have chosen to work with the Campus Bike Shop to lease a fleet of shared bicycles. Program details are available online (http://campusbikeshop.com/articles/stanford-departments-bikes-lease-program-pg258.htm).

Stanford employs a full-time Bicycle Program Coordinator, and she serves as a resource to all those who participate in bike share programs, connecting the groups together and providing advice and guidance.
