Clean Commute is a two year pilot program managed by Bridging The Gap and funded by a grant from the Missouri Department of Transportation. The new University of Missouri, Kansas City (UMKC) Clean Commute program will challenge the student, staff, and faculty to reduce single occupancy vehicle trips to and from campus by using alternative modes of transportation such as bicycles, walking and mass transit.

Modeled on successful programs across the country the Clean Commute program at UMKC will incorporate alternative transportation education while focusing on:

• Distributing of new loaner bicycles equipped with lights, locks, fenders, and water bottle cage.
• Installing bike parking racks
• Creating of a campus bike map linking to business districts, bus routes, and existing routes and trails within a 5-mile radius
• Offering on-campus bike maintenance
• Hosting safety education workshops
