Park and Bike/Walk Information
One solution for those who live farther away from campus is to drive part way, park, and bicycle the rest of the commute. Several formal options are available for parking, and some employees make informal arrangements in nearby neighborhoods or parking lots (check local parking requirements).
Please visit the Transportation Services eBusiness portal to purchase Park and Ride permits.
The Erdman Park and Bike was a pilot project (at Whitney Way and University Avenue, 2.4 miles from campus) to provide free vehicle parking and secure indoor bike storage for those who wished to pedal the last stretch of their commute. The pilot ran June 1- Nov 1, 2010.
Transportation Services plans to investigate potential future park and bike locations in the long term, but no sites are currently agreed upon.
Commuters, park for FREE and ride Metro to your destination. Complimentary bicycle parking is also available. Madison Metro provides complete and up-to-date route information and schedules on their website. For personalized assistance with route planning, contact our Commuter Solutions Team
