Transport Yourself NowEnergy Saving Transportation
At Boise State, we have some fantastic programs that make getting to and around campus more convenient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly for students.
Cycle Learning Center
Boise State’s own bike shop and maintenance center. You can buy new and used bikes for great prices, get a tune up, or take free lunchtime workshops to learn how to fix your own bike. The CLC is a platinum-level bike friendly business that also provides recreational and educational opportunities for students and the community.
Bronco Shuttle Stop
Valley Ride stops on campus to help get around the city without a car. Bronco Shuttles are free to the public – not just students and staff! The Bronco Shuttles average 28,000 rides per month, eliminating the need to drive on campus.
Fun fact: The Orange shuttle goes downtown to the transit center. Take this shuttle instead of driving, save on emissions and the cost/stress of parking!
Electric Campus Vehicles
- Order 6 new electric golf carts to replace gas powered vehicles, which will make 10% of the Boise State vehicle inventory electric. The goal was to reach 10% electric or alternative fuel by 2013.
- Goal to attain 30% electric fleet in the next 10 years – 2% or 3 vehicles per year
- Make electric vehicle use on campus accessible with strategic placement of electric vehicle charging stations
