The University of New Mexico’s Parking & Transportation Services (PATS) has launched a new, student-funded initiative to support sustainable alternative transportation for Lobos. The UNM Bike Valet pilot service opened on Monday, August 18 and is now available for all students, staff and faculty who ride to campus.
The Bike Valet, located on the east side of Popejoy Hall’s (Center for the Arts Building) main entrance and the Student Union Building (SUB), is a free, staffed parking service for bicycles, e-bikes, scooters, e-scooters and other micromobility vehicles (MMVs). This staffed service is available to UNM students, staff and faculty on Central Campus for one year and can accommodate up to 128 vehicles.
Developed and operated by PATS and funded by the Student Fee Review Board (SFRB), the Bike Valet pilot program is a part of a broader effort to encourage efficient and eco-conscious commuting across campus. The pilot will run through July 30, 2026, with PATS collecting user feedback and usage data to help determine future expansion.
