Registration

Once your bike is tagged, you need to register your tag # online and create a user profile. If you have multiple bikes, you can register multiple tags under one rider account. Now you’re ready to start collecting ZAPs!

RIDE: Where to get Zapped

Check out the map of all the ZAP readers on campus to plan your route. You can ride by as many times as you want (and you might want to - they emit a satisfying beep every time you ride by!) but you can only get credit for one ZAP per day.

REWARDS: Prizes and Challenges

First time riders

New to ZAP Oregon State? Ride to campus (make sure you collect a ZAP on your trip!), and you will automatically earn a prize just for trying it out. Prizes vary by season, but may include bike bells, patch kits, or other fun bike bling.

Monthly drawings

As long as you keep riding to campus, we’ll keep giving out rewards! Collect 10 ZAPs in a month, and you will automatically be entered into a monthly drawing for gift cards to nearby businesses, bike gear and more.

Special Events

Keep your ears open throughout the year for team challenges, special prizes for holidays, offerings from sponsoring businesses, and more.
