| 2017, a new Bike Shuttle Express was added to the Lab’s shuttle fleet to make things quicker, easier, and safer for bicycle commuters. The Express, which can carry up to 14 bikes and 14 passengers, makes four runs during the morning peak hours - from the Crescent off Oxford St at the Cal Campus to Building 69 near Grizzly Gate (see map) – a location that makes it easy for cyclists to get anywhere because it’s all downhill from there. |

In February 2017, a new Bike Shuttle Express was added to the Lab’s shuttle fleet to make things quicker, easier, and safer for bicycle commuters. The Express, which can carry up to 14 bikes and 14 passengers, makes four runs during the morning peak hours - from the Crescent off Oxford St at the Cal Campus to Building 69 near Grizzly Gate (see map) – a location that makes it easy for cyclists to get anywhere because it’s all downhill from there.
Drivers who use Grizzly Gate or park near Buildings 69, 75, and 76 may notice an uptick in the number of cyclists in the coming months and should make an extra effort to give them the full use of the lane. Drivers should particularly watch for cyclists at the first intersection below Grizzly Gate, which is challenging since downhill traffic does not stop and cyclists are not always easy to see.

The new Bike Shuttle Express is part of an ongoing effort by the Lab to support cleaner and sustainable commute alternatives and promote traffic safety awareness. For more information see: http://commute.lbl.gov/. For more information about the shuttle, go here for FAQ.
