Improving end-of-trip cycling facilities on the University Campus at Bohunice

If you use a bike or scooter for transport to the University campus, you can fill the questionnaire on Improving end-of-trip cycling facilities. Results will help us to understand the current state of bike parking and other end-of-trip cycling facilities on the Bohunice campus. Data from this questionnaire will feed into a design proposal for improving cycling facilities on campus. In collaboration with the Management of the University Campus at Bohunice, we aim to deliver these improvements by the end of 2024.
