| Cycle-Safe bikes locers at university campuses. | What makes some schools and universities more bicycle-friendly and sustainable than others? The answer is Cycle-Safe cycle lockers. Increasing college enrollment means greater numbers of students, faculty, and staff—and that means more cars and more demand for parking. In fact, the increasing requirements placed on campuses to accommodate cars have made parking a focus of campus life.

| Cycle-Safe, the alternative to more parking lots
As surface parking lots are being taken for university building and the demand for parking is increasing, many schools are reaching into the community for office space. Some cities are requiring that campus parking spaces be limited and the number of trips to campus be lowered as Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plans. The goal is to reduce single occupancy cars to relieve congestion and parking worries. |
Many campuses are now implementing ‘bicycle friendly’ strategies to encourage bicycle commuting. This helps change transportation patterns and eases the demand for automobile parking space. Bicycle lockers are a key element of this strategy. For every bicycle locker user there is one less car on the road and one less car to park. Eighteen bicycles can be parked in the space of one car using the Cycle-Safe system. There have been significant decreases in the number of car trips made by campus staff and student commuters on campuses equipped with quality bicycle lockers. |

| All over the country, colleges and universities are demonstrating their commitment to bicycling by installing safe and secure Cycle-Safe bicycle lockers for their regular bicyclists. They have found that Cycle-Safe bicycle lockers best accommodate their parking needs. Cycle-Safe lockers are a low-cost parking improvement. They can also be a self-liquidating expense at education institutions. The cost of providing them is passed along in monthly rentals to faculty, staff, and student commuters. For parents paying a child's college expenses, renting bicycle lockers costs far less than supplying the student with a car. |
