Yellow Bike Program

The Yellow Bike Program is an initiative from the Green Fund that provides free bike rentals to students, staff, and faculty.

Individuals can rent a yellow bike for up to five days, which will also include a lock, key and helmet. If you fail to return the bike after five days, there will be a daily late fee charge of $10.00 which is applied to your Louie account.

After a five day rental period, individuals must wait one day before re-renting a yellow bike — to allow others to utilize the program.

The Yellow Bike Program runs on a first come, first serve basis.
