23 Once the bikes are present on campus there will be need of upkeep and preservation of the bikes as well as their check out stations. By examining other universities policies and practices we hope to then form a plan on how to properly outfit and maintain the bikes. We are currently seeking advice and feedback from other universities on their practices and policies of their bike share programs.
