  Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the University of 
Arkansas-Little Rock's new bike-sharing program and to emphasize its 
leading example of advocacy for active lifestyles.
  I appreciate the efforts of Jim Carr, Chair for the University's 
Committee on Sustainability, who lead the initiative to bring the bike 
share program to the Little Rock campus.
  This program has provided students, faculty, staff, and visitors a 
convenient and healthy way to get around campus.
  Nearly 200 bright-orange bikes have been delivered to UA-Little Rock 
and have been placed near high-traffic areas, such as dormitories and 
Ottenheimer Library.
  As a long-time biker, I am pleased to see the campus work to provide 
an alternative and convenient transportation option to relieve 
congestion and promote a healthier campus.
  As a former board member of Bicycles Advocacy of Central Arkansas, I 
am glad to see UA-Little Rock's bike-sharing program as one more step 
on the path to a more vibrant, healthy, and bike-friendly community.
