Bike Census Spring 2023: Wednesday, April 26, 2023 from 10 am to 11 am

Bike Census is a collaborative, community-wide effort between Facilities & Services (F&S) and Champaign County Bikes that began in 2013 as part of ongoing improvement efforts to support the campus’ Bicycle Friendly University status.

Previous censuses counted more than 5,000 parked bicycles over a single hour. This year, volunteers will cover 29 specific University District areas and compile data using the ArcGIS Field Maps app. This Bike Census will help us update the Bicycle Map with the most current bike parking locations and also help us identify locations that need more bike parking.

Individuals interested in volunteering for the census should fill out the Volunteer Sign up: Bike Census Spring 2023

All volunteers will be required to join us for a virtual training session at 9 am on April 26, 2023, where we will go over the volunteer guide as well as a demonstration. This is very important for first-time volunteers. Volunteers will walk/bike around the campus to look for off-rack and on-rack bicycles during that one hour.

Help collect information to make the campus a better place! C-U on April 26, 2023!
