Transportation
Bikes
Bike racks are located in dozens of locations around campus, including outside academic buildings and residence halls. Students are strongly encouraged to use a U-bolt locks instead of traditional chain locks.
Notre Dame Police Department provides a bike registration service for personal bicycles. Registration is free and can be completed in person (with the bicycle) at Hammes Mowbray Hall, by flagging down an NDPD officer. Bicycles parked or stored in violation of regulations may be removed and impounded at the owner’s expense. Abandoned, unsecured or unregistered bikes may be impounded at owner’s expense.
A map of bike lanes in the City of South Bend is available online through the Office of Sustainability.
