PROJECT INTRODUCTION
The Ball State Bicycle Master Plan will continue campus efforts to encourage bicycling by providing a plan to increase the safety and mobility of students, faculty, staff and nearby residents who bike on and near campus. The plan will provide recommendations that seek to improve bicycle circulation on campus and to ensure the proper connections are planned for to nearby neighborhoods and other key destinations. The plan’s recommendations will focus on infrastructure improvements, but will also address policy and program updates to support and encourage bicycle travel.

This is YOUR PLAN!  We want to hear your opinions.  We need to hear what you think about biking on and to campus:  what you like, and what you would like to see changed, added, or improved.  This survey is completely anonymous and will help to create a plan for  biking improvements at Ball State University to serve you best.

Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey!
