LYNN UNIVERSITY’S “GREEN-RIDE” BIKE SHARE PROGRAM
Eight bikes have been purchased to create a BIKE SHARE PROGRAM. Students will be able to go to the SECURITY OFFICE and sign out a bike, helmet, and lock/key for their use on or off campus. Trips to the mall, excursions to the beach, or just riding for enjoyment and exercise can be reasons for borrowing a bike. We are encouraging students to use these environmentally friendly modes of transport as a means of supporting our “green” efforts within our campus sustainability program.
There are a few guidelines:
