Bicycle Advocacy Committee
The UMass Lowell Bicycle Advisory Committee was established in 2016 to address bring together relevant departments and stakeholders across UMass Lowell and the community.
Committee members include staff from Campus Recreation, Facilities Planning, Police, Sustainability, Transportation, Student Government, as well as the City Traffic Engineer, representatives from the local cyclist community and interested students, faculty and staff.
Committee members meet once per month to discuss, collaborate, and inform each other on bike programs and issues relevant to the University both on and off campus
Some University members also serve as liaison with the city and other state agencies on bike-related matters.
UMass Lowell students, faculty and staff interested in advocating for bicycling on campus are welcome and encouraged to join our meetings. If you have topics for discussion please send them to Kevin_Soleil@uml.edu.
