Bringing Your Bike to Campus?
UK Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) requires all bikes on campus to be registered. The free bicycle registration program will help:
- Reduce bike thefts and help you recover your bike if it is stolen.
- Provide valuable data about bike use on campus.
- Reduce costs to cyclists by allowing PTS to contact owners of improperly parked bikes as an alternative to impoundment.
- Assist us in getting information out to UK cyclists.
There are several ways to apply for a bicycle permit:
- Online at www.uky.edu/Parking.
- In person at our office locations or at a scheduled registration event.
- By mail.
