Biking is core to the NYU community. In 2019, we asked our community how they get to, from, and around campus. This survey showed a 627% increase in bike ridership over the last decade! Now, we’ve been awarded Silver-level Bicycle Friendly University and Business status for our efforts to support affordable, sustainable, and healthy transportation.
In the last two years, NYU has nearly doubled bike parking in areas within or adjacent to NYU buildings and facilities. This effort required the collaboration and support of many campus partners, demonstrating the importance of supporting an ever-increasing bike community at NYU. We have also coordinated helmet giveaways, group rides, bike education, and much more.
