All bicycles regularly parked at Academic Building One must be registered with Transportation Services. Failure to register a bicycle can result in fines or impoundment of the bicycle.

Registration is FREE and can be accessed through the Parking Services portal (link in bio). After registering, bicyclists will receive their decal in the mail. Once the decal is received, place it on the bicycle frame, facing upward, near the handlebars.

The decals expire, so you'll need to re-register your bicycle once the expiration date passes.
