Through the bike share we provide education programming and support the needs of our Bike Share constituents. Our Bike Share Assistants receive hands on training in how to license, rent, and maintain our bike fleet. Bikes are available to rent for up to 24 hours per day, and they can be used on campus or in the surrounding downtown area.

A brief description of the student educators program (2nd program):
Our Recycling Ambassadors are proud to support Whitman College's path to zero waste. Our ambassadors visit the recycling bins across campus, collect aluminum, paper, and cardboard, and then take them to our local recycling center. These students receive hands on training from outgoing ambassadors to ensure a smooth transition every semester.
Our ambassadors periodically carry out recycling bin audits to check on bins that need new signage or replacing. Our ambassadors share recycling tips with the student body whenever possible.
