CAP takes a look at efforts to encourage bicycle use on college campus. Colleges and college towns are really places that should be looking especially hard at alternatives to driving. For one thing, college students generally don’t have children and families which makes it a lot easier to go car-free. And then by the same token college students have a tendency to get drunk which doesn’t mix very well with driving. And then, last, college administrations have a lot of ability to shape the choices their students make — especially when they can work in partnership with local government officials.
