Bike Parking and End-of-Trip Facilities Expand bike parking and end-of-trip facilities at MAX/WES stations, transit centers and frequent service corridor bus stops

While there is general support within TriMet for providing and improving bike parking at stops and stations, actual implementation is not always consistent systemwide. Policy is needed to guide where and when to increase bike parking capacity at stations and stops, along with design guidelines to ensure that parking is well-located, attractive and secure. It is also important to address the lack of systemwide data on the adequacy of bike parking, and to develop a consistent means of gaining user input to help inform bike parking investments. Finally, over the course of developing the Plan, many stakeholders noted the inconsistent policy of charging bike riders for secure parking, while offering free automobile parking.

Recommended Actions 1 Continuously and programmatically address bike parking deficiencies. 2 Ensure state-of-the-art design for a wide range of bike parking types at stops and stations. 3 Engage current and potential users in analyzing the need for additional bike parking and end-of-trip facilities. 4 Ensure bike parking payment policies are consistent with regional and agency goals to encourage the integration of bicycling and transit.
