Vote for the Name of the New Wildcat Wheels Fleet

LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 11, 2014) ― Voting is now underway for the name of the new Wildcat Wheels Bicycle Library (WWBL) fleet. Vote now through Friday, March 14, at www.sustainability.uky.edu/NameTheFleet. Each person may only vote once. Only current UK students and employees will be permitted to vote.

The new WWBL program will feature a fleet of 100 bicycles earmarked for students living in campus housing who sign a commitment not to bring a car to Lexington. The bicycles for this program will be 8-speed commuter bicycles equipped with fenders, a rear rack, a bell, and a lock. Participating students will be guaranteed the bicycle for the entire academic year.

The addition of the new bicycles was made possible by a funding partnership between the Student Sustainability Council and Parking and Transportation Services. All participants will also receive a bicycle helmet, thanks to the UK HealthCare Level I Trauma Program.
