Bike and EMPV Storage

Students should request a storage permit from Parking Facilities to leave their bicycle or electric or motor powered vehicle (EMPV) on campus over breaks during the academic year. Devices that are left unattended on campus are subject to being considered abandoned, which could result in removal/impoundment from the location.

Indoor, secured storage is available in the Materials Management and Distribution Center (MMDC) facility, located at 700 Ahlers Drive in West Lafayette. All devices that are requested to be stored must be registered by Parking Facilities using the 529 Garage mobile app/platform, and a registration sticker will be placed on the device.

Registration is free, occurs on a walk-in basis during business hours at MMDC and is a one-time process per device. Registration can occur at the time of dropping off the device to be stored for the summer if it has not already been completed.

Summer Storage

Device storage is available between May 4-Aug. 18 for $30 per bike or EMPV. Drop offs and pick ups can occur Monday through Friday between 7 a.m.-4 p.m. at MMDC. 

The storage permit is intended to last the duration of the summer for devices that will not need to be accessed during that time. A new storage rate will be assessed for bicycles or EMPVs that are picked up and then brought back to MMDC to be stored again prior to Aug. 18. 

Complete this online form once per device to request a summer storage permit. Parking Facilities will follow up with the individual through email once the request has been approved to provide next steps for purchasing through the online parking portal. No payment is required until the time of purchase.
