SECURE BICYCLE PARKING AT TRANSIT FACILITIES

Abstract

The Twin Cities is one of the most bike-friendly areas in the nation. Metro Transit, the region’s primary transportation operator, is interested in exploring how to determine which transit facilities would beneft from secure bicycle parking, and to increase bike-to-transit users. The purpose of this report is to propose a methodology for Metro Transit to determine potential locations for secure bike parking investment. This report covers Metro Transit’s existing e°orts around secure bicycle parking, which has usually been implemented on a project-by-project basis. In addition, interviews were conducted with Metro Transit sta°, peer agencies across the nation, and other bike/micro-mobility agencies and researchers to better understand the story around secure bike parking.
