Commuters who park their bicycles at the Journal Square PATH Station take their chances that their ride will be there when they get back.

Now the Port Authority is swinging the odds in the cyclists’ favor.

The transit agency has finalized an agreement for a 20-bike parking facility on PATH property at Journal Square under a pilot program, Port Authority officials announced.

The agreement with Brooklyn-based Oonee, which maintains several bike parking pods in New York, goes into effect Aug. 1, and reflects a growing commitment to expanded biking options for employees and customers, officials said. In May, Port Authority opened a shared bike/pedestrian path at the Bayonne Bridge.

The Oonee Pod is a secure, freestanding bike parking facility accessible via keycard or cellphone app for riders using the PATH system or others living or working in the neighborhood. There is a $4.99 monthly subscription fee for users.

“When it comes to providing innovative travel options for our customers, our wheels never stop turning,” Port Authority Chairman Kevin O’Toole said in a statement. “Offering these kinds of biking options is part of the Port Authority’s commitment to a better, easier commute and a cleaner environment.”

According to information on the Oonee website, the bikes are locked on racks on the walls, and can only be removed by the user after they access a locked front door. The bike rack currently at the PATH station is easily accessible to all people.

Over the years, the Jersey Journal has printed numerous reports of bicycles being stolen at the PATH station. Port Authority police say that there were 54 reported bike thefts at the Journal Square station in 2018, with 12 arrests.

“Given city traffic, parking and other challenges faced by commuters each day, biking is becoming a pleasurable travel alternative for many of our customers and employees,” said Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton. “These are wonderful opportunities for the Port Authority to support a mode of transportation gaining in popularity, while reflecting our commitment to reducing air pollution emissions.”
