Secure Bicycle Parking
Virginia Tech affiliates now have access to secure bicycle parking on level 1 of the Perry Street Parking Garage.
Features
The secure bicycle parking area includes a 360-degree security camera for comprehensive monitoring and provides convenient access to the Transit Center Building’s shower facilities. The area includes the following amenities:
86 covered bicycle parking spaces.
12 storage lockers for gear, available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Self-service bicycle repair stand and air pump.
Eligibility
Any Virginia Tech employee or student with an active university ID card can register for secure bicycle parking. Bicycles, scooters, and other personal transportation devices parked inside the area must have a current bicycle registration permit sticker and a current secure bicycle parking registration.
Any bicycle without a valid secure bicycle parking registration will be impounded by Sustainable Transportation at the owner’s expense. Those with a valid registration who provide access to people who are not registered to use the space are subject to having their registration revoked.
