Bicycle 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.
The first stations to receive new standard lockers are Foggy Bottom (Nov. 17-19) and Eastern Market (Nov. 20-22). Additional 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.
Current Bike Parking Options per Station
Our detailed locker replacement schedule will be shared on this page when it becomes available.
| Station Name | Number of lockers | Number of oversized lockers | Number of smart racks | Number of u-racks | Installation Schedule |
| Foggy Bottom | 5 double sided lockers (10 spaces) | To be installed Nov 2025 | |||
| Eastern Market | 4 double sided lockers (8 spaces) | To be installed Nov 2025 |
