45 Bicycle registration start date: July 2009 Estimated daily # of bikes on campus: 4,500 Number of registered bikes: 3,480 Percentage of bikes registered: 77% UK bike use increase 1999-2009: 37%

46 We never had to register our bicycles before. Why do we have to do this now? We believe that a registration program will help us better educate and enforce the rules that will make bicycling at UK a positive experience for everyone. Registration has benefits for all members of the UK community, not just cyclists. Who must register their bicycles? Where can I do it? All members of the campus community who plan to park their bicycle on campus must have a valid bicycle permit. Starting in July 2009, bicycle permits will be available at Parking Structure #6 (721 Press Avenue) and at www.uky.edu/Parking.www.uky.edu/Parking

47 What if I have more than one bicycle? You must register each bicycle that you plan to park on campus. I don’t ride a bike. How will this benefit me? As more members of the University community turn to cycling, the demand for parking will be reduced. When that happens everyone wins – our campus, our community and our environment.
