Alternative Transportation Programs
Pirate BikeShare is one program we offer that allows individuals to lease a refurbished/
new bicycle for an entire semester at a very low cost. Every
semester our ofce rounds up all the abandoned bicycles left
by students. After time and contact cannot be made with the
owner, the bicycle becomes state property. Our department
makes sure they receive all the proper repairs and maintenance
and then recycles them back out to the campus community
to use. Students can sign up at the Parking and Transportation
Services ofce on Tenth Street.
Parking and Transportation Services is
pleased to provide our campus with
basic bicycle maintenance and repairs
every week, free of charge to the
customer. We call it the Bike Clinic and
our department gladly covers all the
costs for this wonderful cause, as well
as for the continuing safety of the ECU
cycling community. The bike clinics are
held in front of the Student Rec Center
on Fridays from 10 am to 12 noon.

The Bike Rental Program is for those individuals that want to enjoy the pleasures of
biking just occasionally rather than for the entire semester.
This program allows riders to rent bikes by the day, the
weekend, or for an entire week for a very low cost. Riders will
receive a helmet, a lock, and front and rear lights. All riders
can sign up for the program at Parking and Transportation
Services on Tenth Street. Please check their website for
current hours of operation.
Ride Sharing: Zimride is a ride-sharing
network that helps members of the ECU
community nd, post, and coordinate
carpooling alternatives to individual
transportation needs. Zimride is very much
like Facebook. It provides a central location
for nding out about member-posted ride
needs and offers, and helps get individuals
connected for mutually benecial ride
arrangements. Membership registration
is not required. All you need to log in is
your ECU Pirate ID and passphrase. This
also means that you will be connecting
only with members of the ECU community,
giving you the most efcient and relevant
ride options!
Planning to Park on Campus?
You will need a Parking Permit!
New to Campus Parking?
A valid parking permit is required to park on the ECU Campus. We operate according
to a lettered and numbered parking zone system to designate zone restrictions for each
parking lot. Each lot will have a sign at the entrance(s), that will tell you what zone permit
is restricted to that lot. Each letter associated with a zone has a number alongside of it
that will indicate the different levels of access. All odd numbered zones are for faculty
and staff, while the even numbered zones are for students.
We also provide Pay by Space stations for short-term parking. These stalls/spaces within
these stations are numbered and must be activated at all times, even if you have a per-
mit. If you are ever unclear as to when you can legally park in a certain lot, our ofce is
available for clarication during normal business hours. Our website is also a wonderful
resource for everything you need to know about parking on campus and more!
Visitors
Visitors to the main campus will nd convenient parking in the Pay by Space stations.
The Pay by Space stations are for short-term parking, while a Visitor permit MUST be
purchased for longer visits. Visitors that have a state-issued disabled parking placard will
need to let our staff know when purchasing their Visitor Permit, that they are in need of
medical accommodations for proper authorization to park in the handicapped spaces
on campus.
Other Helpful Tips
Make sure you are displaying your
permit properly.
Do not park in a re lane or any other
service/maintenance area.
Do not park in a reserved space.
Park in the appropriate zoned parking
lot for the type of permit you are
displaying.
Do not park in a handicapped space
without proper authorization from
our ofce.
Make sure your vehicle is properly
registered in our system.
If you lock your keys in your car or need
a jumpstart while on campus property,
then call our ofce. We're here to help…

Parking Deck
Opening Late 2018
Construction is underway to build the
new Student Union and Parking Deck
on main campus. We're excited to be
able to bring ECU it's rst parking deck!
The projected completion date is set for
2018. Once completed, the deck will
hold approximately 700 parking spaces.
As ECU grows each year and until
the parking deck is open, we ask for
everyone's understanding of the very
limited parking available on main
campus. As a result, parking on main
campus is not guaranteed.
