Office Hours Monday - Friday 12 noon -
3 pm Phone:(805) 893-2433 The CSO
Office is located in Lot 32, just behind the Public Saftey
Building, at the corner of Mesa and Stadium Road.
The Bicycle Program at UCSB is comprised of many individual
services that are provided for the campus community. The CSO
Office is where bicycles can be registered, reported stolen,
and released from impound.
Community Safety Organization Officers are responsible for
- Bicycle Registrations
- Bicycle Safety Education
- Warnings for Bicycle Violations
- Impounding of Bicycles
|
 |
UCSB has a unique characteristic, a large bicycle population
within a relatively small radius. CSOs are responsible for
warning individuals of bicycle regulations, and when necessary,
enforcing them.
 |
To register a bicycle, come to the CSO Office
during scheduled hours and bring your bicycle, valid photo
ID, and $6.00 in exact change (no coins please, bills
only). |
| If you have lost your bicycle on university property
please call 893-3446
or come down to the Public Safety Building so a police
officer can take the report. |
 |
|
|
Bicycles
which present hazards to pedestrians, other bicyclists, or
vehicles will be impounded.
|
Please take notice of the cement signs placed
in key locations around the UCSB campus.
The Library, Arbor, Phelps, Humanities, and Social
Sciences Building are a few of the locations where cement
signs are posted.
|
 |
Yellow flyers will be posted on walls where bicyles
are frequently parked illegally and are subject to impounding.
To further prevent illigally parked bicyles, orange tags
are placed on the bicycles, to warn the owner that the bicycle
is subject to impound.
Do not park against trees, on lawns, in planters, on ramps,
in building entrances, or against walls. Any bicycle parked
in a spot other than a bicycle rack is considered parked illegally
and may be impounded.
To ensure the safety of pedestrians as they move about campus,
CSOs may be positioned at locations where people are constantly
riding their bikes on the sidewalk. Please, walk your bike
on the sidewalks.
|
The most commom infractions that CSOs provide
verbal warnings for are:.
- Riding on the sidewalk: This is
especially dangerous during daylight hours when students
are traveling between classes.
- Riding double: Hazards of blind
spots and poor braking response due to the extra weight
and lack of balance, make this a dangerous way to
ride.
- Riding with no hands: This is a notoriously
dangerous way to ride, especially with excessive speed.
- Skateboarding, rollerblading or walking on
the bike path: Due to the swift nature of
UCSB's bike paths, this hazard puts a large number
of people at risk of serious injury.

|
Impounding bicycles is necessary to prevent accidents
and hazards, but is always the last action taken after
verbal warnings, posting of signs, and tagging of the
area. If your bicycle was impounded, it will be availible
for release the following day at the office. The impound
release fee is $24.00 dollars. Impounded bicycles must
be registered prior to release. Registration fee is
$6.00 dollars and is good for three years.
