B.A.T. (BICYCLE ANTI-THEFT) PROGRAM

B.A.T. program participants sign a form and receive a decal with their unique I.D. number to place on the crossbar of the frame between the seat and the handlebars. The information on the student and his/her bike are then put into the computer system for tracking in case of theft. The decal also allows the University Police to stop bicycles displaying a decal on campus between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. (the time when most bikes are stolen) to verify ownership. The decals act not only as a deterrent but also aid in the recovery process if your bike is stolen and recovered. There is no cost to register your bike and the process only takes a few minutes to complete. Students can drop by the , located on the 2nd Floor of the Oak Street Parking Deck, with their bikes to register for the program.
