Bicycle (Motorcycle) User Registration (Faculty and Staff) - Common Matters
| If you wish to use a bicycle (motorcycle) on Science Tokyo campuses, you must register in advance. |

In order to create a safe and comfortable campus environment, unregistered and abandoned bicycles are impounded (temporarily moved).
Please comply with procedures. Pedestrians have priority on campus. To avoid collisions, ride your bicycle at a speed that allows you to stop immediately on the left side of the road.

Science Tokyo faculty and staff members can log in to Extic and apply for registration of either a bicycle or a motorcycle in the General Affairs and Planning Department folder of "WorkflowⅡ" .

Unregistered vehicles may be impounded (temporarily moved).
