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:
In FY'17 we ran a pilot program for one year with VeoRide to determine if there was a demand for bike sharing programs at UMass Dartmouth.
17,000 rides were recorded by 1,700 different participants.
At the end of the program, the vendor wanted to force electric scooters onto the campus as a condition of keeping the bikes, which was not acceptable to the campus, so we parted ways.
