Zagster app and smartphone
By James Searfoss
Zagster bike share is now available at University Park, offering Penn State
students, faculty, staff and visitors a convenient, affordable and healthy
way to get around campus.
Thanks to financial support from UPUA, annual memberships for students are available for just $25 for the first year of the program. Faculty/staff
memberships are $35 per year, while community members and regular campus
visitors may purchase an annual membership for $50. Single-use rides for
non-members are also available for $3 per hour.
Through Dec. 31, enter the promo code “pennstate” for $5 off a Zagster
membership. To sign up, simplydownload the Zagster app at the Apple App
or Google Play stores or visit zagster.com/psu.
Each bike has a unique number that riders select within the app to disengage
the ring lock and docking cable. Alternatively, riders can get unlock codes
via text message to use with an on-bike keypad. A retractable cable mounted
to the bike allows the bike to be secured to any bike rack throughout a trip
for mid-ride stops. After the rider returns the bike to a designated Zagster
bike station, the rental ends and the bike is available for the next person
to enjoy.
