The Public Safety Department encourages alternative transportation to and from the college including traveling the city streets with bicycles, mopeds and motorcycles. A few simple but effective guidelines can help make your trip and using alternative transportation a safe one.

Bicycles should be secured to designated racks and areas only, and not to railings, banisters or fences. Bicycles secured in unauthorized areas are at increased risk of theft and of blocking entrances and exits. At no time may any vehicle be placed on a fire escape or stairwell.

If you do ride a bicycle or moped remember to wear the appropriate helmet and secure your vehicle with an effective locking device. Please contact MassArt Public Safety Department for advice and handouts regarding bike security and safety.

The Department also operates a bicycle registration service which can discourage theft and may assist in the recovery of a stolen bike. Those who register their bicycles with Public Safety will receive a free bike helmet. Stop by, pick up a helmet and have your bike engraved, digitally photographed and receive an email with this important information.

Parking of mopeds and motorcycles is not permitted on the city sidewalks, or college walkways, repeat violators will be ticketed. Motorized vehicles should be parked only at City of Boston municipal parking spaces.

If you have any questions regarding parking of bikes or mopeds contact 617 879 7810 and ask to speak with the supervisor.
