Bicycling

Hundreds of cyclists commute to and from Duke, and around campus, burning calories instead of fuel. Staff, faculty and students who bike to Duke and do not regularly bring a vehicle to campus are not required to purchase a parking permit and may register as a bicycling commuter.

Bike commuters receive:

  • 12 free parking passes for a preferred lot and 12 passes for any remote lot.
  • Commuting bikers may register with GoTriangle’s Emergency Ride Home Program. Information about registering for and using this service can be found at www.gotriangle.org/ERH.

In order to register as a bike commuter, print this form and submit it to Parking and Transportation Services. For more information, send an e-mail to tranpark@notes.duke.edu or call (919) 684-PARK.

Duke Bikes

A bike-loan program, Duke Bikes is a partnership between Duke students and university departments to provide undergraduate, graduate and professional students with no-cost options for exercise, adventure and campus commuting. This collaborative effort also provides a tangible example of several of Duke's efforts to promote sustainability, alternative transportation and health.
