Help Light the Night!

Light the Night is Tuesday, September 22, from 4 to 7 p.m., in five separate campus locations. You MUST bring your bike to get a free light set. Approximately 1,000 bike light sets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Remember, Illinois law requires a front light along with a rear reflector/light when riding at night. If your bike is missing these items, please take this opportunity to become compliant and improve your visibility and safety during evening hours while traveling throughout Champaign-Urbana.

LTN Locations

• Alma Mater Plaza
• Gregory Drive and Fourth Street
• Green Street and Lincoln Avenue
• Hallene Gateway
• Pennsylvania Avenue and Dorner Drive

At Light the Night, you can also register your bike or pick up your theft-deterrent identification shield if you’ve already registered it. Bicycle registration is mandatory for all bicycles parked or operated on campus and owned by students, staff, faculty, university departments, community members, and bike share vendors.

Help Out – No Experience Needed

Also, more volunteers are needed for the event, and no experience is necessary. Individuals will be quickly trained to install the light sets or assist with other tasks. In case of severe weather, the event will be rescheduled for September 23.
