As part of the University’s commitment to sustainability, we recommend that all members of campus consider bicycling and walking as methods of transportation for commuting, meetings and other University-related functions. Both offer excellent health benefits, as well as reducing fuel consumption and campus vehicle traffic.

There are hundreds of bike racks located all across campus close to almost all buildings and destinations to help facilitate bicycle commuting and use for the UF community. To find a bike rack near your building or destination, or to view the locations of the free self-serve Dero bike repair stations on campus, just scroll down to the Bicycling Map located at the bottom of this page!

You can also view bicycle resources at the UF Campus Map. After opening the map, choose Transportation from the Layers menu to see the available options.

The UF Police Department offers free bicycle (and e-scooter) registration to help prevent theft and locate stolen bicycles. You can find more information at UFPD’s Bicycle Registration page here.

TAPS also offers daily and weekly parking permit options to allow our customers flexibility for days when bringing a vehicle to campus is absolutely necessary. For additional details on this benefit, please visit our permits page for more information or call the TAPS customer service office at (352) 392-PARK (7275).
