"DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn stated, 'More New Yorkers are riding bikes than ever before, so we're meeting this moment with new tools and programs that make bike trips safer, easier, and more accessible from parking to trip planning.'"
"Flynn emphasized, 'Many New Yorkers, especially families, opt out of bike ownership because they lack the storage space in their homes, especially for larger family-oriented cargo bikes.'"
"The Secure Bike Parking Program will allow New Yorkers to store various types of bicycles, including standard, e-bikes, cargo, and adaptive bikes, addressing significant barriers to bike ownership."
"Public feedback will be collected through an online portal, allowing New Yorkers to suggest parking hub locations and specify their storage needs."
The NYC Department of Transportation is launching the Secure Bike Parking Program, creating 500 secure bike parking locations across the city. This initiative aims to alleviate storage challenges for New Yorkers, particularly those with small apartments who struggle to store larger bikes. The program will feature sheltered structures installed in curb lanes, making bike ownership more accessible. Membership options will include annual fees and hourly rates, with discounted memberships available. Public feedback on parking hub locations will be encouraged through an online portal.
