The UW-Stevens Point Comprehensive Campus Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan was adopted in the spring of 2019 furthering our campuses efforts towards sustainability. The plan outlines the existing resources available to bicyclists and pedestrians and provides a tiered plan for implementing new initiatives to improve the resources available to users of the UWSP campus. The plan was written by the Campus Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning Task Force who was formed in 2016 to forge the future of UWSP by conducting research and evaluating our campus to provide improvements for the future. UWSP is in the beginning stages of implementing these new recommendations and will continue to do so into the future.​

UWSP is a 2019 Bronze level Bike Friendly University, as certified by the League of American Bicyclists.
