TAMC offering free Bicycle & Skateboard Racks & Bicycle Repair Stations

MONTEREY COUNTY – Bicycle and skateboard riders will soon have more places to park their bikes and skateboards in Monterey County thanks to the Transportation Agency for Monterey County’s Bicycle Secure Program. Under the program, the Transportation Agency pays the purchasing price of the racks, lockers, and repair stations, including tax and shipping, while applicants are responsible for installing and maintaining the equipment. Applicants proposing an artistic bicycle rack design are also eligible for financial assistance.
Applications are due to the Transportation Agency by Friday, February 1, 2019. The Agency encourages interested businesses, schools, non-profits, and other public agencies in Monterey County to apply.
The program serves the Agency’s public mandate to achieve a coordinated and balanced regional transportation system by promoting active transportation. By providing secure bicycle parking, businesses can attract more bicycle-riding patrons, employers can support the growing number of people who choose to bicycle to work, and schools can support students who bike to school - all of which supports local economic, health, and environmental goals.
In the last three cycles of the Bicycle Secure Program, the Agency provided new parking facilities that can accommodate approximately 450 bicycles and approximately 180 skateboards. Applications have come from schools, businesses, and non-profits from across Monterey County, including King City, Greenfield, Salinas, California State University Monterey Bay, Del Rey Oaks, Marina, and Monterey. Additionally, the Agency has been able to further support bicycling by providing five bicycle repair stations across the county.
For the 2019 grant cycle, staff will review all application materials and submit a recommendation to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Advisory Committee on March 6, 2019, and then submit their recommendation to the Agency’s Board of Directors for approval at its meeting on March 27, 2019. Following Board approval, the equipment will be distributed and installed between April and June 2019.
Details about the program, including the application and program guidelines, are available online at http://www.tamcmonterey.org/programs/bike-pedestrian/bicycle-secure-program/
