LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 23, 2021) University of Kentucky Transportation Services is now accepting applications for the 2021 Bike Voucher Program. Now in its seventh year, the program offers the first 100 qualified applicants $400 each in vouchers that are valid at any of four participating local bike shops.
“If you’ve been considering commuting to UK on a bike, this program provides a great incentive to formalize that commitment,” said Sandra Broadus, UK Transportation Services’ alternative transportation manager.
The vouchers may be used toward the purchase of a new bike or for bicycle gear and accessories. Participants sign a car-free commitment for two years but may purchase up to 40 additional single-day parking permits per fiscal year if they are needed.
