Mavericks will be able to cruise to classes when UTA’s Institute for Sustainability and Global Impact launches a new bike-sharing program Thursday, Sept. 7. UTA students, faculty, and staff can join the bike-share program for a $25 annual fee. Bikes are then free for the first two hours of use and $1 for every additional hour. LEARN MORE.
