Long Term Bicycle Parking <br />For long -term parking, the local jurisdictions <br />may want to consider bicycle lockers. <br />Bicyclists are usually more comfortable <br />storing bicycles in lockers for long periods <br />because they offer increased security and <br />protection from natural elements. Although <br />they may be more expensive to install, they <br />can make the difference for commuters <br />deciding whether or not to bicycle. <br />Lockers can be controlled with traditional key <br />systems or through more elaborate <br />subscription systems. Subscription locker <br />programs, like e- lockers, or park -by -phone <br />systems allow even more flexibility within <br />locker use. Instead of restricting access for <br />each patron to a single locker, subscribers can <br />gain access to all lockers within a system, <br />controlled by magnetic access cards, or caller <br />ID. These programs typically have fewer <br />administrative costs because they simplify or <br />eliminate key management and locker <br />assignment. <br />Long -term bicycle parking facilities <br />accommodate employees, students, residents, <br />commuters, and others expected to park more <br />than two hours. These parking facilities <br />should be provided in a secure, weather - <br />protected manner and location. <br />Innovative High Volume Bicycle Parking <br />In many locations, individual U -racks located <br />on the sidewalk can be sufficient to meet <br />bicycle parking demand. Where bicycle <br />parking demand is higher, more formal <br />structures and larger facilities need to be <br />provided. Several options for high- volume <br />bicycle parking are outlined below. <br />cm � <br />h <br />n Cvmpon ants <br />2 - Sack <br />3 - DrOder <br />4 - Back <br />5 - Side <br />B • Door <br />7 - Post <br />B - Lock <br />9-Top <br />Figure 2.16: Bicycle Lockers at a Transit Station <br />OCTA Commuter Bikeways Strategic Plan <br />
