   WALKING

Campus Police provide a Safe Walk program on and around campus to prevent crime.

ACCESSIBILITY 

The University purchased an Action Trackchair for use by individuals on campus. An Action Trackchair is an all-terrain wheelchair.

Having this chair available provides individuals who require or benefit from mobility assistance the opportunity to join in on outdoor adventures and events that go off a paved path!

The UWO Action Trackchair can be checked out from the Outdoor Adventure Center at Student Recreation & Wellness Center!

   BIKING

Bike lanes along Algoma Boulevard and High Avenue provide quick, convenient access to class. We have many bike racks located throughout campus.

  • For information about bicycle theft prevention, contact the University Police at 920-424-1212.
  • The Student Recreation and Wellness Center maintains a bike repair shop and hires students to assist with repairs, maintenance, and upgrades.
  • Students can also rent bikes and other equipment from the Student Rec and Wellness Center
  • There are also two free-standing bike Fix-It Stations on campus to pump up your tires and do some repairs on your own, one by the mall entrance of Reeve Union, and the other by the Student Rec and Wellness Center.

  UWO GO

UWO GO was officially launched for all UW Oshkosh students to ensure safe travel to and from areas on and near the UW Oshkosh campus during evening and early morning hours.

This service functions much like Uber and Lyft, but is FREE to all UW Oshkosh students. The drivers will be CSOs (Community Service Officers) who are students who work for UWO PD.

To use this service, follow these three easy steps!

1) Download the UWO Mobile application (if you haven’t already)

2) Click on “Oshkosh Campus”

3) Go to “UWO GO” to request your ride
