Bike to Work Day is Thurs., May 14
Leave the car at home and bike or walk to work on Thurs., May 14 because SSU is supporting 511.org's annual Bike to Work Day. Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to commute to campus using means other than their cars to promote alternative forms of transportation that benefit the entire community.

On Bike to Work Day, Energizer Stations are located throughout the county to hydrate and encourage those participating on their way to SSU. There will also be a station at the south entrance to campus (at the corner of Sequoia and East Cotati Avenue) with free gifts, food and refreshments. For a complete list of energizer stations, visit the Bike to Work website. Sonoma State Police and Parking Services is offering free bicycle registration during the Bike to Work Day activities. Information is also available on the SSU Police and Parking Services website, on the Bike to Work Day webpage.
