Re Think Transportation
AQ Bikes
AQ Bikes is a sustainable way to get around the Aquinas campus and Grand Rapids area. As gas prices continue to fluctuate, eliminate uncertainty by checking out a more affordable way to travel. Visit Campus Safety to rent a bike by the day, weekend, or quad. Each bike will be inspected before and after use and equipped with a quality bike lock and helmet for safety and security. Any questions may be directed to aqbikes@vig2.net or call 616-632-2449.
Campus Excessive Idling Policy
Aquinas College is an "idle-free" campus, meaning no vehicle is permitted to idle
longer than 5 minutes while on college property. An unattended idling vehicle poses
not only a safety threat but also a security risk. By limiting the amount of time
vehicles are permitted to idle to 5 minutes, the policy helps to preserve the natural
beauty of campus while simultaneously supporting AQ's commitment to carbon neutrality.
Certain exceptions have been written into the policy to accommodate buses and diesel
engines in extreme temperatures.
The Rapid Public Bus System
Using public transportation is a great way to save gas money and green your transportation habits. AQ staff, faculty, and students can use the Rapid for only $0.25 per ride, a savings of over $1.50 per ride! Simply show the bus driver a valid Aquinas College ID to take advantage of this discount program. Ride the Rapid
