Free BCycle memberships for CU Employees Nancy Portner Tue, 09/09/2025 - 08:52

CU employees are eligible for a free Boulder BCycle CU student and employee membership, thanks to a partnership between ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ��'s Environmental Center and BCycle. Previously, employees received a discounted rate.

This membership gives you unlimited 60-minute rides - perfect for getting around campus or between CU locations. Just download the Boulder BCycle app and use your identikey@colorado.edu email address when registering.

Bike sharing is a convenient, eco-friendly way to connect to public transit, run errands, or simply enjoy Boulder - no need to worry about parking, locks, or maintenance. CU employee and student participation is expected to help push annual BCycle rides past 750,000!

Benefits of Boulder BCycle

A bike when you need one - you get unlimited 60 minute rides each day. Pick up a bike at any Boulder BCycle station and drop it off at a station near your destination
No need to buy a bike - with bike docking stations all across the city, it’s super convenient and easy to access a bike when and where you need one!
Connecting to public transit is a breeze - ride to a nearby Boulder BCycle dock and hop on the bus - no need to lug your bike on/off those bus racks
Not a mechanic? Not a problem - Boulder BCycle handles all the bike fleet maintenance so you don’t have to worry about flats, chains or tune ups
Safety-approved - all bikes have bright front/rear lights and a built in lock on every bike
No spandex necessary - Boulder BCycle bikes have a step-through frame and a comfortable seat, so you don’t have to bring a change of clothes to ride these bikes. Chain guards, fenders and mudflaps and a large front handlebar basket on all the Boulder BCycle bikes keep your work/school clothes squeaky clean

CU Students and Employees: Free Membership

Thanks to the Environmental Center and their partnership with BCycle, CU students and employees get unlimited trips for 12 months as long as they are under 60 minutes; trip fees apply to all BCycle trips over one hour.

Parking on Campus?

Nancy Portner — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 15:46:56 +0000

Parking on Campus? Nancy Portner Thu, 01/16/2025 - 08:46

Here is how Parking has agreed to handle FacMan vehicles on sidewalks:

Vehicles that need to load/unload on the sidewalk will need to have their flashers on and will need to relocate to a service space when they are done.
Do not block ADA access, Fire Lanes, around blind corners, or other pathways.
We will treat the sidewalk where they are parked as a 15-minute loading zone.
Enforcement will follow the normal chalking and ticketing procedure when they find these vehicles.
Drivers do not need to contact Customer Service for their 15 minute load/unload.
If you do receive a ticket while following the procedures above, please contact Parking at 303-735-PARK (7275) or Parking@colorado.edu and ask them to review your case.
This only applies to CU FacMan logo'd vehicles. Contractors need to continue to get sidewalk access approval through their FacMan project manager who will then coordinate with Kate in Parking.

Facilities Management Workwear Information and FAQs

Facilities Management Workwear Information and FAQs Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 11/21/2024 - 20:09

A step-by-step process for how to order FM workwear in AiM is coming soon. In the meantime, view the FM workwear catalog.

Stock workwear: Stock items (shown in the FM workwear catalog) are kept in stock at FM Stores and are typically available for next business day delivery on campus.

To order stock items, please log into AiM and submit a Stock Part Request.
All stock items are branded with the Facilities Management logo.

Non-stock/Non-Catalog items: Additional "non-stock" items (such as jackets and hoodies shown in the FM workwear catalog) are available to order on a monthly basis.

To order non-stock items, please log into AiM and submit an Other Part (Non-stock/Non-catalog) part request.
Please note that we won’t be able to return, exchange or swap out the items you order, so it’s very important that you know your proper sizes and styles.
Non-stock workwear requests from all of our Facilities Management units will be bundled together and submitted once per month on the last day of the month and should arrive at FM Stores by the end of the following month.
All non-stock items will be branded with the Facilities Management logo.
Requests for items with a different (unit-specific) logo must reach a minimum order threshold and cannot be submitted via AiM. Please reach out to Casey Sanders at FM Stores to discuss your unit's specialty workwear needs.

Facilities Management Work Wear Program FAQs

I am an I&R employee. Do I need to wear workwear while at work on campus?

Some I&R employees, based on the requirements of their job duties, are issued daily workwear. This new workwear will replace the old tan shirts.
Some I&R employees wear other personal protective equipment like gloves, and should follow the guidelines and requirements of their individual departments.
Student employees and temporary employees in Facilities Operations (CBS and Outdoor Services) will be provided with between one to five short sleeve or long sleeve t-shirts (depending on their work schedule and hours).
Full time employees, student employees and temporary employees in PD&C, I&R Business Services and I&R Human Resources do not qualify for the workwear program at this time.

Will the university provide workwear for employees to use while working on campus?

Distribution of workwear will be handled by FM Stores. Supervisors whose employees need new or replacement workwear are asked to submit requests via AiM.
Contractors performing work on campus should wear their own company branded workwear unless other arrangements are made.

Do I need to wear my workwear at all times while at work?

Employees should wear workwear in public and common areas of campus spaces. Discretion can be used while working on tasks that require specialty PPE and gear.

What is the timeline for ordering?

Stock items (shown in the workwear catalog) are kept in stock at FM Stores and are typically available for next business day delivery on campus. To order stock items, please log into AiM and submit a Stock Part Request.

Can I order items with a different/unit specific logo on them?

All workwear items will come screen-printed or embroidered with the standard ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� Facilities Management logo.
Units who would like to purchase items with a different logo on them should reach out to Casey Sanders to discuss options. Order minimums apply.

Can I purchase additional items?

Units who would like to purchase items not shown in the workwear catalog should reach out to Casey Sanders to discuss options. Order minimums apply. At this time personal/individual purchases are not allowed.

What should I do with my old (khaki/tan) FM workwear?

Old versions of workwear (tan/khaki shirts) and anything that is worn out or torn should be returned to your supervisor. Employees who leave the university should turn in their workwear to their supervisor on their last day of work. Supervisors should send old workwear to FM Stores for cloth recycling.
