Employee Bike Fleet Program
The State College Borough is a sustainable community. In efforts to increase employee wellness, reduce traffic, and limit vehicle emissions, the Borough implemented an employee Bike Fleet program in 2015. As of today, four bikes are available for employees to use during the work day to travel:
- To meetings or inspections
- Back and forth between the administration and the service buildings
- Between parking garages
- To and from campus
- On errands
- For exercise during lunch
