Bicycling/Walking

Walking on Campus

Walking is a great way to stay physically active and a convenient way to get around campus. Provided below are estimated walk times between popular locations on both UNO campuses.

Bicycle Racks and Fix-It Stations

UNO offers several bike rack locations for those who commute by bicycle to, from, and between UNO campuses.

There are six Fix-It stations between both campuses that provide air pumps and basic tools for riders to make adjustments. These stations are free and open to the public.

Bike rack, Fix-It station, and Heartland Bikeshare locations can all be found on the Campus Bicycle Rack Map, located on the Campus Maps page.

MavRIDE Bus Pass

The MavRIDE bus pass program gives Mavericks the ability to use their MavCARD as a bus pass on any Metro or ORBT route at any time, free of charge. Your MavCARD is activated as your MavRIDE bus pass if you are a current faculty/staff or a student actively taking classes.

MOBY rides are included in the MavRIDE Program. The MavCARD will work the same way on MOBY as it does on a Metro Bus. Before using MOBY, a MavCARD holder will need to meet eligibility requirements and become certified for the service.

MavRIDE may only be used by the UNO faculty/staff, resident, or student pictured on the MavCARD.

Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations

UNO provides three Level II electric vehicle charging station locations, which allow EV owners to conveniently charge their vehicles on campus.

Use the ChargePoint app to find available charger locations and enable notifications to be notified when your vehicle is fully charged.

Dodge Campus Locations

• Two stalls on the West edge of lot “M” south of Criss Library
• Two stalls in the West Parking Garage just inside the South entrance

Scott Campus Locations

• Four stalls on the first level of the Pacific Parking Garage, inside the West entrance

Rate to Charge

Current rates are available at the stations.

Additional Guidelines

Only EV vehicles may park in EV charging stalls. Non-EV vehicles may not park in EV charging stalls.

These stalls are for active charging only. Vehicles should be moved once they are fully charged to allow other users access to the stalls.

You must be plugged in and have an active session in order to park at an EV charging station. Parking at an EV charging station while not plugged in and/or without an active session is not permitted, and may result in the vehicle being issued a citation or possibly towed.

The use of regular wall outlets for the purpose of EV charging is prohibited.
