1 Setting the Standard: An Introduction to Bicycle Accessibility to Transit Agencies
2 The Question --- How do transit operators optimize the multimodal (transit to bike) user experience? --- Page 2
3 Setting the Stage 39% Increase in transit ridership since 1995 Faster than population growth!* Cycling on the rise in cities across the USA Bike ridership in the USA increased 62% between 2000 and 2013** Annual Transit Ridership * APTA Factsheet, 2015 ** Growth of Bike Commuting, League of American Bicyclists, 2013 Page 3
4 Implications For Transit Dissecting the First & Last Mile Catchment Areas Core Immediate Station Area Primary Mostly Ped trips Secondary 1-3 Miles from Transit; highest bike use Rail/Transit operators are becoming more responsive to bike accessibility Considerations for transit operators: How to accommodate additional bikes with limited spaces without impacting current transit riders How to facilitate last mile connections and create a seamless user experience Page 4
5 Setting the Standard Establish a series of recommended practices for bike accessibility to Transit: Established a cross-sector, Interdisciplinary Work Group 40+ Members Transit agencies Bike Advocacy Groups Rack Manufacturers Consultants Guide for Agencies & Municipalities Best practices CASE STUDIES!!!!! Page 5
6 Defining the Core Issues Safe Routes to Transit Bike Parking at stations Bikeshare integration On-Vehicle Storage Establishing Dialogue & Prioritizing Cycling ROW Mixed Use and Reactivation Page 6
7 The Importance of Bike Parking Good Bike Parking: Easy & Immediate access to the bus/train Inspires confidence Decreases fear of theft/damage Bad Bike Parking: Increases hassle for users Decreases security Makes the idea of riding to work cumbersome Page 7
8 Setting the Standard Parking Placement & Type Open Vertical Racks Open Stackable Racks Never One Size Fits All Need to be flexible & responsive to demand Immediate Proximity To Station Facility Line-of-site with station personnel if possible on-demand lockers cage/enclosed space Open U racks keyed lockers Smart Racks Page 8
9 Setting the Standard Making Space For Bikes Think about parking capacity in terms of space? How much real-estate should be allocated for bike parking? How can we maximize space with different types of racks Double stackers Varying rack configurations Page 9
10 Setting the Standard Bikes Onboard Vehicles Users should never be placed in Conflict ADA spaces should be separate from bike spaces Cyclists have a tendency to self regulate based on good judgement Agencies with more restrictive regulations tend to ease them over time Station circulation is critical Agencies need to have efficient &accessible routes through transit facilities Should not impede normal pedestrian flow or interfere with ADA access Fast & Intuitive Use Racks must be user friendly Page 10
11 Setting the Standard Messaging & Communication Wayfinding Easy route to parking Contextualized with station/local system Proper locking Instructions Typical Infographics and/or language Polices & Rules Hours, access, etc. Off-Site Resources Webpage with system-wide bike information including bike parking at each station, special parking facilities and onboard procedures Page 11
12 Setting the Standard Bike Share Transit Operators should seek to accommodate bike share: Bike share is increasing More than 50% of bike share users in cities with high transit usage frequently link bike share with transit trips Place Bike Share Proximate to Stations Should not impede peak pedestrian flow Accommodations for bike share operations Encourage inclusion on transit property where possible Interoperability Where Possible Page 12
13 Let s ensure mobility for the future with active connections to transit! Page 13
