[Volunteers Needed] Campus Bicycle Census on Tuesday - November 11 from 10 AM - 12 PM

[Prasad, Sarthak]

Hello all,

 

We are hosting the Campus Bicycle Census on Tuesday, November 11 from 10 AM to 12 PM. During this event, we count any bicycle that is parked on campus, at bike racks or off-rack locations.

 

The Training will take place from 10 – 11 AM at the Anniversary Plaza (south side of Illini Union) and then the volunteers will travel to their assigned location and collect data from 11 – 12 PM. Volunteers will walk/bike around the campus to look for off-rack and on-rack bicycles during that one hour.

 

Previous censuses counted more than 5,000 parked bicycles over a single hour. This year, volunteers will cover 35 specific campus areas and compile data using the ArcGIS Field Maps app. This Bike Census will help us update the Bicycle Map with the most current bike parking locations and also help us identify locations that need more bike parking.

 

Individuals interested in volunteering for the census should fill out the Volunteer Sign up: Bike Census Spring 2025.

 

Please share this volunteer opportunity with your students, peers, and colleagues. Thank you,

Sarthak
