Register your Bicycle with the Department of Public Safety

Students, staff and faculty can register their bicycles on campus

Just bring your bike to Police Headquarters at 1101 W. Montgomery Avenue and an officer will inspect your bike and place a sticker to the frame that corresponds to your file in the police database. This way, if your bicycle ever turns up without you on it, the police will be able to get in contact with you to return it. The information is also shared with the Philadelphia Police Department, in case your bike is found outside of the campus area.

Free U-Lock Program

Every semester, Public Safety provides a free U-lock to students who register their bicycles with Temple Police. The U-Lock will be given when you bring your bike to a Police Headquarters for inspection by an officer.

Bicycle Racks and Secure Bicycle Parking

Temple University boasts more than 2,000 bicycle parking spaces.

In addition to outdoor bicycle parking, there are two options for fully covered, locked bicycle parking on Main Campus.

  1. Engineering Building: There is fully covered, locked bicycle parking located behind the Engineering Building available to staff, faculty and students for $10 a semester.  To gain access, you must go to the Parking Services Office located in the Montgomery Garage and make a payment. Once you do, you will be able to access the bicycle locker with your TU ID.
  2. Residence Halls:  All residence halls have an in-door bicycle storage room for student resident use.
