Project description:
Containerized Bicycle Storage
Every year, thousands of bicycles are abandoned on the UC Davis campus, taking up bicycle parking stalls which invite problems like theft and ADA accessibility.
The Bicycle Program with UC Davis Transportation Services mitigates this issue by impounding abandoned bicycles and upcycling them for new owners through their bi-annual auctions. With their auction cancelled due to public health concerns (COVID-19), their inventory is at capacity, with no room to take on new impounds or offer long-term, secure bicycle storage.
They will purchase storage containers which will allow us to increase their capacity and continue to serve their cyclists in the Aggie community.
