Where to ride bikes: Bikes may be ridden in any roadway or area where motorized vehicle operation is permitted. State law does not prohibit riding bicycles on sidewalks, however, many local ordinances do. The City of Oxford, for example, prohibits bicycle riding on the sidewalks in the uptown business district. Any bicycle ridden on a sidewalk must be operated with due regard for the safety of others. Pedestrians have the right of way on sidewalks, so bikes must yield to them at all times. Riding bikes is not permitted anywhere that signs prohibit it.
Personal Transportation Devices: E-scooters are a new item in Oxford. Miami University has rules about them. Here are some things you should know:
We also encourage you to review Miami University's Bicycle and Personal Transportation Device Policy.
A variety of transportation options are provided by Butler County Regional Transit Authority (BCRTA).
Campus Shuttle Routes — Students and employees can get around campus using the BCRTA local and regional routes. Shuttles offer many stops along each route, with destinations including many Oxford campus locations, uptown Oxford, several off-campus student housing areas, and the Hamilton and Middletown campuses. Buses run daily during the fall and spring semesters, and winter and summer terms. There is no fare to ride throughout the campus and community.
ADA Service — BCRTA provides transportation for students and employees with disabilities. Any time fixed bus routes are running, BCRTA provides door-to-door transportation around campus and in the Oxford area. To utilize this service for more than three consecutive uses students or employees must have the appropriate forms filled out by a doctor and given to the BCRTA for continued service. Students and employees can call BCRTA at 513-785-5237 or 855-42-BCRTA (toll-free) for this service, which operates during the scheduled hours of regular BCRTA fixed route services. Students and employees who present a valid Miami University ID pay no fare to use the ADA service.
