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 University of Arizona supports three bike-sharing programs. The Cat Wheels Bike Program is a Parking and Transportation (PTS) initiative designed to provide a free bicycle loan system for The University of Arizona. The program was developed to help students move around campus in a quick, safe, and sustainable fashion. Tugo's annual membership includes access to 330 bikes at 36 stations on and near the University of Arizona campus. Make unlimited 30-minute trips on Tugo. Return the bike to any station. Additionally, Outdoor Recreation began a new bike rental initiative using a grant from the Campus Sustainability Fund. Through this, for $70 students can rent a bike through the semester including a free repair and a bike lock.
