DAC with the help of DASB is lending free bikes to college students in an effort to promote an environmentally and economically sustainable community.
De Anza Student Body recognizes that environmental sustainability is our generation’s top concern. In an effort to reduce pollution and provide an alternative means of transportation, the DASB initiated the Bicycle Program for students to be able to rent bicycles during the period of the quarter free of charge. The DASB’s purpose is to encourage different ways of transportation and increase bicycle use. This program aims to provide students with the means to rent a bicycle for use on and off campus.
There are only a few requirements the student must meet in order to be eligible for the bicycle rental:
• 18 years of age or older
• Must be a DASB card holder
• Have paid all fees or enrolled in a payment plan
• Enrolled in a minimum of 6 units (3 units for the summer quarter)
To apply to the bike rental program, the student needs to fill an application (https://www.deanza.edu/dasb/committees/es/pdf/bikerequestform.pdf).
• Promote environmentally and economically sustainable community because bicycles use less energy, limit carbon dioxide emissions, and lower traffic.
• Encourage alternative transportation
• Promote a healthy and active lifestyle
