University of New Hampshire
Tier2-3: Bicycle Plan

The UNH Campus Master Plan (2004) describes how “appropriate bicycle and pedestrian design elements will be integrated into new streetscapes and the Main Street redesigns." Recent reconstructions of the main arterial through campus included the incorporation of full bike lanes and expanded bike racks on core campus. In 2010, a further expansion, Main Street West, will integrate bike lanes and an off-road shared bike/pedestrian recreational trail into a one-mile corridor connecting core and west campuses. In addition, the University will continue to work with the “state of New Hampshire, Durham, and regional partners to develop safe and effective bicycle routes to and from campus (Campus Master Plan).” As core streets are resurfaced and reconstructed bike lanes are integrated with reduced vehicle travel lane widths to decrease vehicle speeds and increase bicycle/pedestrian safety. UNH University Transportation Services have two bike programs in place, Cat Cycles and Blue Bikes. UNH Students, faculty, and staff of the University are eligible to participate in these programs. The Cat Cycles program allows individuals to sign out a bike for your exclusive short-term use. The Blue Bikes program gives UNH departments the opportunity to purchase a quality bike ideal for campus use.
