Bike Lockers

Bike locker information

Smarter bike parking is rolling out at Metro

Metro is continuing to improve our bicycle parking program. We are moving away from a keyed, annual rental system to a digital, keyless one making bike parking more flexible, affordable, and accessible. Lockers and smart racks will be accessible via an app and will be available to rent on-demand by the hour.

This will make parking your bike more secure and convenient. Across our system, we're investing in new facilities to better serve you: 450 new standard bike lockers, 50 new oversized lockers, 100 new smart, self-locking racks, 75 new repair stations, and 600 new u-racks.

New bike parking amenities have been installed at select stations and new bike equipment will continue to be added at stations across the system in phases. The equipment will be functional once it is installed. Amenities will differ per station.
