Bike Storage

Students should request a storage permit from Parking Operations to leave their bicycle on campus over the summer or winter.

Bicycles that are left unattended on campus are subject to being considered abandoned, which could result in removal/impoundment from the location.

Device Registration

Indoor, secured storage is available through Parking Operations. All bicycles that are requested to be stored must be registered by Parking Operations 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 Parking Operations (STEW, room G054) and is a one-time process. If registration has not previously been completed, bring your bike with you to STEW to complete the process prior to storing it over the summer or winter.

Drop offs and pick ups can occur Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m.-4 p.m. at STEW, room G054. 

Temporary Storage Permits

Temporary storage permits are $30 per season. 

The storage permit is intended to last the duration of the defined season for bicycles that will not need to be accessed during that time. A new storage rate will be assessed for bicycles that are picked up and then brought back to STEW, room G054 to be stored again prior to the end of the storage period.
