Do you support the continued funding of $4.11, (of the $4.11 collected, $3.17 goes to the program, $0.10 is for an administrative assessment and $0.84 for Return to Aid) per undergraduate student per quarter and $3.55 (of the $3.55 collected, $2.71 goes to the program, $0.08 is for an administrative assessment and $0.76 for Return to Aid) for summer quarter for the Bicycle Infrastructure and Education Fund?
Pro Statements
The Associated Students Bike Committee is responsible for funding the maintenance and improvements to campus bike infrastructure, as well as educating students on best practices regarding bike safety through events such as bike fairs, workshops, and tabling. This year we coordinated the repair and repaving of several damaged areas of bike path, including the dip by the HSSB intersection, the path north of Cheadle Hall, and the path behind Phelps, in addition
to the restriping of the main campus path.
We identify problem areas on campus by seeking student input and conducting regular campus ride-arounds, then allocating the necessary funds to make improvements or repairs. In 2025-2026, we hope to finalize an in-progress plan to replace the bike path between the Library and the ILP and improve the bike parking lot at the bus loop. We also expect to continue to advocate for proper bike infrastructure for planned new student housing at San Benito and
upgrades to East Campus housing, including new and wider pathways to and from both areas.
Through careful planning and by working closely with administrators and students, the Bike Committee has helped make UCSB one of only a few Platinum ranked Bicycle-Friendly Universities in the nation. However, there is always room for improvement. Please vote yes to continue making biking better at UCSB!
