Students, bike registration is now required! Don't miss this opportunity to have the cost covered by Whitman.

 

The Office of Sustainability, Residence Life, and Security partner to facilitate student bike licensing, which is now required under Whitman’s Bicycle Policy. During the first two weeks of each semester (or in this case, the first month in which we are initiating the program), Whitman will cover the cost of licensing one bike per each student who has not previously licensed a bike through this program. Bicycling licensing in Walla Walla costs $5 through the City. Licensing your bike helps keep it safe in case it needs to be moved or it is lost or stolen. Once your license registration has been processed, you will receive via campus mail a City of Walla Walla bicycle license sticker and instructions on how to apply the sticker to your bike.
