Description

The purpose of this project is to lay the groundwork for development of a
network of bike-transit centers along Metro transit lines and throughout the
County of Los Angeles; thereby reducing vehicular emissions and congestion,
improving mobility and enhancing the livability of Los Angeles County.
What is a Bike-Transit Center?
A bike-transit center is a facility that provides at least twenty (20) fee-based,
secure bicycle parking spaces adjacent to a transit stop in an effort to encourage
bike-to-transit connections. Services that a bike-transit center offer can
range from access controlled bicycle rack enclosures, bicycle lockers or a fullservice
facility offering bike parking, repairs, sales, rentals and/or restrooms,
among other functions.
A Bike-Transit Center Network is a group of bike-transit centers that can be
accessed at multiple sites, tied together by a uniform access system, administration,
and identity. The first such center of its type in the US is the
Bikestation® in Long Beach anchored by the Metro Blue Line and the Long
Beach Transit Mall.
