Motorcycle/Bicycle Parking

Any motorized vehicle that has two wheels will be defined as a motorcycle and this includes mopeds and vehicles with smaller engines.

There are a total of 50 motorcycle spaces (specially marked ? spaces) on campus. Any vehicle found outside of a permitted motorcycle parking location will receive a violation. Motorcycles may not park in automated garages, CSU buildings, standard vehicle spaces, bike racks or on sidewalks. The University assumes no responsibility for the care and protection of motorcycles while on campus.

Bicycles

Bicycles do not require registration on the CSU campus. As such, bicycles are not permitted to park in vehicle spaces or motorcycle spaces. See below for bicycle parking areas on the CSU campus.

Bicycle parking on the CSU campus is restricted as follows:

• No parking at a tree, post, roadway utility pole, light post, handrails or banister, or parking meter. Parking at handrails and banisters causes problems for pedestrians.
• No parking on lawns.
• Bicycles may not be stored or parked in any campus building (except as permitted in the dormitory).
• Bicycles operating in areas primarily intended for pedestrians (e.g. sidewalks, plazas, etc.) MUST yield the right of way to pedestrians.
