Why Bicycle?
Santa Barbara’s bicycle-friendly climate and network of bicycle routes makes
commuting by bicycle a viable alternative almost year-round. Thousands of people
use bicycles to commute to UCSB on a regular basis.
Bicycle Lockers
To improve bicycle security, the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) offers
UCSB students, faculty and staff the opportunity to rent a bicycle locker in one
of seven convenient campus locations. To qualify for a locker, you must:
- Live more than two miles from campus
- NOT own a UCSB parking permit (Night & Weekend permits excepted)
- Use a bicycle as your primary mode of commuting between home and UCSB at least three
days per week
The diagram shows the exterior dimensions of a bike locker and the paired wedge-shaped
interior.
A bicycle locker rental costs $59 per year, subject to availability.
Every year in September, a lottery is held to assign unrenewed lockers to eligible
applicants. For information about locker rentals and the bicycle locker lottery,
please contact us by email or by telephone at 805.893.5475.
