To stay updated visit our web site at www.berkeley.edu/transportation. LICENSE YOUR BICYCLE At UC Berkeley and in the City of Berkeley, bicycles must be licensed with a California Bicycle License. If the UCPD stops you while riding a bicycle without a valid license, you could be subject to citation. Additionally, licensing your bicycle increases the likelihood of recovery in case of theft. P&T provides licensing to the campus community. For up-to-date information call 510.642.2987 or check www.berkeley.edu/ transportation. SECURE YOUR BICYCLE Bicycle theft has become a tremendous problem on college campuses, and UC Berkeley is no exception. Bicycles and bicycle parts, including “quick release” seats and wheels, are in big demand, and thieves are well-equipped and organized. :: Always lock your bike. :: Use a high quality “U”shaped lock. Avoid using lightweight cables or chains,or low quality U-locks :: Always lock your bicycle through the frame and both wheels to a bicycle parking rack. :: :: :: :: Lock all free parts of bike or take them with you. Park in designated bicycle parking areas only. Avoid leaving your bicycle locked outside overnight. Before leaving your bicycle,give the lock a tug to ensure it is secured. GET A BIKE LOCK! Faculty, staff, and students can get a one-time $15 subsidy on a high-quality bike lock at selected Berkeley bike shops through the UC Berkeley Lock Program. To receive your $15 bike lock coupon your bike must have a current California Bicycle License. For up-to-date information on how to get your subsidy, call 510.642.2987 or check www.berkeley.edu/ transportation.

CITATIONS & BEST CLASSES The campus offers a reduced citation bail of $28.00 for all bicycle citations that must be paid within twenty-one (21) days of issuance. After 21 days, the citation leaves campus jurisdiction and additional fees will apply. In addition to the lower citation costs, UCPD and P&T jointly offer Bicycle Education Safety Training (BEST) classes, a “traffic school” option for cyclists who receive citations on campus. An offender may have the citation excused by paying a non-refundable $10.00 registration fee and completing a 60minute class on bicycle safety. As soon as possible after receiving a citation, bicyclists should visit the Parking & Transportation Customer Services office located at 2150 Kittredge Street to enroll in a BEST class. The course must be completed within 21 days from the date the citation is issued or additional fees will apply. For more information and enrollment hours, call 510.643.2500.

BICYCLE ENFORCEMENT To manage the growing number of bicycles, skates, scooters and skateboards on campus, the P&T department’s enforcement officers regulate campus bike parking and other requirements. The UCPD shares this responsibility and also enforces bicycle moving violations, such as reckless riding, riding in the Bicycle Dismount Zone, and ignoring traffic signs. Additionally, the UCPD has responsibility for bike theft prevention, investigation, and recovery. You are one of approximately 45,000 people who regularly share the paths and roadways of the Berkeley campus. Campus paths and roadways as well as the city streets adjacent to the campus serve pedestrians and drivers, as well as bicyclists, skateboarders, rollerbladers, and scooters. Safe and responsible riding is essential and conflicts can be avoided with proper equipment maintenance, courtesy, common sense, defensive riding, and compliance with regulations. SAFE RIDING A.

Bikes, skateboards, scooters and skates are some of the most efficient forms of transportation known, and are often the fastest way to get around Berkeley. BICYCLE ENFORCEMENT You are one of approximately 45,000 people who regularly share the paths and roadways of the Berkeley campus. Campus paths and roadways as well as the city streets adjacent to the campus serve pedestrians and drivers, as well as bicyclists, skateboarders, rollerbladers, and scooters. Safe and responsible riding is essential and conflicts can be avoided with proper equipment maintenance, courtesy, common sense, defensive riding, and compliance with regulations. To manage the growing number of bicycles, skates, scooters and skateboards on campus, the P&T department’s enforcement officers regulate campus bike parking and other requirements. The UCPD shares this responsibility and also enforces bicycle moving violations, such as reckless riding, riding in the Bicycle Dismount Zone, and ignoring traffic signs. Additionally, the UCPD has responsibility for bike theft prevention, investigation, and recovery. The Parking & Transportation Department (P&T) is a key player in planning, developing, and maintaining the campus’s bicycle infrastructure, programs, and education. P&T provides bicycle licensing, discounts on bicycle locks, secure bicycle parking facilities, directional and instructional signage, and improved campus routes to encourage bicycling to and through campus. P&T also sponsors the campus Bicycle Sub-Committee that develops recommendations on campus bicycle issues. In collaboration with the UC Police Department (UCPD), P&T also enforces bicycle riding and parking rules for the safety of everyone on campus. SAFE RIDING C * not caged:area monitored by security cameras and open to public B. Bicyclists are subject to the same rules of the road as motor vehicles and are safest when behaving as one. So,obey traffic signs and stops,ride with the flow of traffic,and be courteous to other road users, including pedestrians. :: :: :: D. Ride in a straight line,to the right of fastermoving traffic. Ride as far to the right as is safe,but no so far that you’ll hit garbage or opening car doors. If there is a bike lane,use it.

SECURE YOUR BICYCLE Bicycle theft has become a tremendous problem on college campuses, and UC Berkeley is no exception. Bicycles and bicycle parts, including “quick release” seats and wheels, are in big demand, and thieves are well-equipped and organized. :: Always lock your bike. :: Use a high quality “U”shaped lock. Avoid using lightweight cables or chains,or low quality U-locks :: Always lock your bicycle through the frame and both wheels to a bicycle parking rack. :: :: :: :: Lock all free parts of bike or take them with you.

F. Avoid road hazards. Watch out for parallel-slat sewer grates,slippery manhole covers,oily pavement,gravel, and ice.Cross railroad tracks at right angles. 510.642.6760 In addition to the lower citation costs, UCPD and P&T jointly offer Bicycle Education Safety Training (BEST) classes, a “traffic school” option for cyclists who receive citations on campus. An offender may have the citation excused by paying a non-refundable $10.00 registration fee and completing a 60minute class on bicycle safety.
