Biking at Emory Highlights
Emory University supports biking for the Emory Community through advocacy and investments in bicycle infrastructure, including bike racks, bike rentals, and PATH multi-use pathways. The Bike Friendly University program of the League of American Bicyclists has given Emory a Silver rating for supporting bicyclists.
By 2025, we will develop a bicycle and pedestrian master plan to include dedicated bike and pedestrian lanes and trails and bike amenities.
