SOME FUN LIL' STATS

Made it down to the bottom of this page? Have some little stats, as a treat. 

Ok, so, if you made the choice to ride just 1x per week, you'd be making this level of impact every quarter.*


*Based upon an average bike commuter trip length of 10 miles.


This project is made possible through funding from the California Active Transportation Program, SB1 - The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

THE PERKS OF SLUG BIKE LIFE

Say “bye-bye” to parking tickets and permits! There are bike racks at most major campus buildings where you can park for free, or for only $0.05 per hour, you can use one of the 36 secure bike lockers on campus. 

HASSLE-FREE PARKING

We have LOADS of information for cyclists whether you’re commuting for work or riding between classes on campus. Find out how to license your bike, and what the best routes are on campus and around town. We’ve got you, Slugs!  

ACCESS TO TOOLS

Biking is not only great for you, it’s great for the environment! You can track your greenhouse gas emission (GHGs) reduction and earn sweet incentives (like free gift cards) for riding through Go Santa Cruz County. Bonus: Cycling also helps reduce traffic on campus. It's a win-win-win!
