The University of North Texas recognizes that the use of a motor vehicle on campus is a convenience for many and a necessity for some. We have a commitment to promote alternative transportation through ridesharing, vanpooling, biking, or our campus shuttle service and the Denton County Transportation Authority bus service. Our desire is to reduce traffic congestion and improve pedestrian safety through these mobility options.

Bicycles are allowed on campus with a UNT bicycle permit. These permits are free. Click on the Registration Form link located on this page. Complete the form, print it, and bring it to the Parking Office during their regular business hours.

Bicycles operating on a shared-use pathway must yield right of way to pedestrians and operate at a speed and in a manner consistent with public safety.
