A brief description of the program, including an indication of its scope (e.g., the number of bicycles the program makes available, participation levels, etc.):
The Big Red Bikes bicycle sharing program is student initiated, student run and partially student funded through the undergraduate Student Assembly and student activity fee. Cornell Facilities Operations provides the remainder of the funding. Support is also provided by the Cornell Libraries and the Cornell Outdoor Education program. The bike share started in May 2011 with 20 bicycles, available for same-day check out at the main library through a web-based management system. The program was expanded with 20 additional bicycles and two additional library locations in the 2011-2012 academic year. The program is open to all active students and employees who register for the program, with no fees for use.
As of December 2012, the bike share program garnered over 2,700 user registrations and had logged more than 3,300 individual "rentals".

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Since the program kick-off, four bicycles have been lost or stolen. User error in how the bikes are locked appears to be the cause.
