There are between 10,000 and 11,000 bicyclists on the University of Arizona campus during any given weekday. Understanding and complying with traffic laws as they apply to bicyclists is crucial in promoting a campus environment which supports safe travel for everyone. The University of Arizona Police Department in cooperation with Parking and Transportation Services would like to take this opportunity to invite you to participate in a Bicycle Safety and Education Campaign.
The Bicycle Safety and Education Campaign aims to educate community members on bicycle traffic laws and provide important tips for safeguarding bicycles against theft. The UAPD and Parking and Transportation personnel will be stationed at the following locations over the course of the next few weeks in support of the campaign:
September 16, 2009 (Wednesday): 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. (University/Cherry)
September 22, 2009 (Tuesday): 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. (University/Cherry)
September 23, 2009 (Wednesday): 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. (Highland/4th)
October 1, 2009 (Thursday): 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. (Olive/2nd)
We will be offering free bicycle registration services and selling U-locks for $15.00 (cash or check) at these events. Additionally, we will be providing important information on bicycle traffic laws, theft prevention and crime reporting. Please support this campaign and help us make the campus a safer place to travel. If you have any questions concerning these events, please contact the University of Arizona Police Department Crime Prevention Unit at 520-621-4219.
