A brief description of the program:
Bicycles play an important role in the Transportation Demand Management plan at UNH. As an alternative to the single occupancy vehicle, bicycling does not contribute to greenhouse gas emission, provides good exercise and reduces traffic congestion. Managed by UNH Transportation Services, the Cat Cycles program allows any member of the university community to sign out a bike at the UNH Visitor Service Center at the entrance to the "A-lot" parking lot and have sole use of the bike for up to a week. All the bikes are durable, single-speed "cruisers" equipped with a lock, fenders, and a cargo basket. Cat Cycles provides a fuel-free mode of transportation to get to any campus and downtown location in a convenient manner, all while increasing the visibility of bicycles on campus and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.
