Well-being
Biking is an aerobic exercise that strengthens your heart and can reduce your risk of heart disease; it can help you maintain a healthy weight by burning fat and toning muscles; and biking releases endorphins, which can improve your mood and reduce stress and anxiety.
Live Near Your Work
The Johns Hopkins Live Near Your Work program offers grants of up to $17,000 toward a down payment and closing costs associated with buying a house in designated Baltimore City neighborhoods.
Sustainability
JHU has many initiatives aimed at strengthening connectivity between our campuses, reducing single-occupancy vehicles, enhancing bicycle and pedestrian environments, and mitigating the environmental impacts of everyday travel.
Transportation
Transportation Services provides reliable and efficient parking, shuttle, and transportation options, for a convenient and safe experience traveling throughout the entire JHU Homewood campus.
“I live really close to work because of the Live Near Your Work program. I’m able to use my car a lot less, and I use my e-bike a lot, and there’s a lot of really great bike paths near work.” Read the whole interview with Ashley.
