On Monday, March 31 UNM Parking and Transportation Services (PATS) will award Lobo Bikes to 10 various UNM Departments by drawing winners out of a selection pool. In order to be eligible, UNM Departments had to enter the drawing during a month-long campaign to cultivate interest in the PATS bike-share program. The drawing will take place at Parking & Transportation Services at 11 a.m.
Funded by a UNM World of Wellness Grant, the Lobo Bikes program is intended to reduce traffic on campus, reduce emissions, and provide a fun and healthy way for departments to conduct business around campus.
“A bicycle is a short-cut and reduces traffic congestion around campus. Using a Lobo Bike can both reduce emissions and greenhouse gases, and also get you where you need to go with more efficiency,” Cynthia Martin, PATS Program Planning Manager said referring to the limited parking available on campus.
