Campus Bike Parking Rules

• Bicycles should only be secured to designated bike racks found throughout campus. You can view the bike rack map online.
• TPS will remove and impound bicycles secured in any way to objects other than designated bike racks or blocking ADA access. This includes:
• Railings, handrails, and guardrails, especially those railings or other objects that may be required by persons with mobility impairments.
• Areas that restrict egress for life safety purposes or in any area that would impede or restrict pedestrian or vehicular traffic
• The University is not responsible for damage to locking devices that require removal because they are secured to objects other than designated bike racks or are abandoned. If the bicycle is registered with Emory Police and/or the National Bike Registry, the owner will be contacted at the residence on file.
• Impounded bicycles will be held for thirty (30) days, after which the bicycles will be recycled. If you believe your bike has been impounded, please email commute@emory.edu.
• Bicycles that are abandoned for more than fourteen (14) days in a bike rack will be impounded. To report an abandoned bike, please email commute@emory.edu.
