This uni is not bike friendly at all! The large campus doesn’t have infrastructure or design to keep bikers, skaters or commuters who scooter safe. You basically need a car to navigate around campus.
The UMD health center physicians say that the #1 reason students and patients visit for injuries is campus bike, scooter, and skateboard related.
More recently signs and street symbols have been posted to inform drivers that they must share the road with these types of travelers, but there are not individual lanes or pathways physically protecting these commuters.
The same goes for all of College Park. It is a bit sad since PG county is one of the top 5 wealthiest counties in the Nation and PG county and UMD don’t show action to on improving and promoting sustainable and more inclusive ways of commuting.
