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 September 2014, we launched the Nova Bike Share. Students (undergraduate and graduate) can rent a bike for a semester or year free of charge. There are currently 50 bikes in the program. Students who participate in the program receive a bike, lock, maintenance and winter storage. The program continues to be very popular among students, selling out within hours of registration opening.
Bikes for the program come from Devereux's bike shop, where unwanted bikes are dropped off and fixed up for reuse. Devereux works with adults with intellectual disabilities to teach them work skills they can use to help support themselves, such as bike maintenance.
