Regional Bike Parking Program

UPDATE (3/15/10) - The MAPC Bicycle Parking Program remains on hold until further notice.  We expect to be able to restart the program in April at the earliest. At that time, we expect to have significant funding available to fund bicycle parking purchases throughout the MAPC region.  This page will be updated when the next round of the program is announced.

The MAPC Regional Bike Parking Program provides full reimbursement of the cost of purchasing bicycle racks (minus shipping and installation costs) for all 101 cities and towns in MAPC's region. The Boston Region MPO, the Executive Office of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration have provided generous funding to enable 100% reimbursement of the cost of eligible bike parking equipment bought through this program.

Approved Vendors

MAPC has secured discount prices on equipment from three of the leading vendors of bike parking equipment: Creative Metalworks, Dero, and Madrax. They offer a wide range of products, with products suitable for every location and application.

Discounted Bicycle Parking Equipment for Public Agencies and Entities

In addition to the reimbursement program, each community as well as the Department of Conservation and Recreation and the MBTA are eligible to purchase unlimited bicycle parking equipment at the discount contract prices.

We hope your community will participate in this program, an MAPC initiative to make travel by bicycle even easier at a minimal cost to communities!

 Please carefully review the How to Participate and Reimbursement Instructions before placing an order.
