The website URL where information about the program, policy, or practice is available:
Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
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.
Although designed for bike share, rental and industrial fleets, the original bicycles were found unsuitable for local terrain. This resulted in unacceptable equipment failures and bicycles out of service. In the Spring of 2013, the first 20 bikes were replaced with bicycles that have proven more suitable for our terrain.
Students are currently investigating more robust management systems with electronic controlled access.
