  • Learn more about the commuter support programs offered by Parking and Transportation Services
  • Get acquainted with the University’s self-service Fixit Stations
  • Pick up free bike bells, lights, maps, and guides
  • Browse a display of specialized commuter gear
  • Visit with representatives from Citizens for Modern Transit and Madison County Transit/RideFinders to learn about regional carpooling and public transportation support
  • Learn about how your office can become a Green Office and gain points for each employee that utilizes Alternative Transportation
  • Did you give up your parking permit this year? We have a free t-shirt for you! Receive your gift at the check-in tent.

We will be ready to talk about tips for ensuring you have a safe and comfortable active commute! If you will be bringing your bike for service, please RSVP here: https://goo.gl/forms/QsoxqLeDBamqPKXg2.  To learn more about Velofix, go to https://www.velofix.com/.

Can’t make it? We will be holding two more Bike Tune-up and Commuter Resource Fairs this summer on July 14 and August 10.

 

*Due to limited slots for tune-ups, free tune-ups are available first-come, first-serve for WashU employees. Tune-ups cover basic maintenance only; bike owners may be referred to a bike shop if repair needs do not fit within the scope of the basic tune-up.
