The City is turning up its urban bicycling game. The Department of Transportation is launching a robust bicycle parking program, whereby the City will install bike parking at no cost to those who submit requests. The way in which locations are selected will depend on current supply and demand, allowing for safe and convenient bicycle parking, and ensuring that any surrounding services will remain easily accessed. How to request a bike rackFor desired locations, send the following information to: bike.ped@sanjoseca.gov

Address//Business Name//Cross Streets//Your Name//Phone or Email

Business owners are especially encouraged to request a free bike rack for installation near commercial destinations, especially as more and more people travel by bike, whether to get to work or school or to run errands.For businesses, improved bicycle infrastructure and encouragement programs can yield great benefits, such as higher foot traffic, increased sales receipts, as well as reduced parking and traffic congestion.Drop a pin where you’d like to see bike parking installed using our interactive map: Map Link*Requests for bike parking on private property require the consent of property owners.
