How to Participate

Great News!  With the current round of funding, there is no limit to the amount of bike racks that a community may order.  Funding is available on a first come, first served basis.  Follow the procedure below to secure racks.

1. Subscription Form

To participate in the program, first complete and return the Bike Parking Subscription Form. The form must be signed by a person with contracting authority for your municipality. Please sign the form and email or fax to the contact at the bottom of this page.  Previous participants in the bike parking program do not need to fill out an additional form.

MAPC will send you confirmation after the subscription form is received. You may then begin to select bike parking equipment per the procedure outlined below.

2. Choose Bike Racks

The Regional Bike Parking Program has three participating vendors: Creative Metalworks, Dero, and Madrax. Each vendor has its own catalog of products. For guidance in selecting bike racks and installation locations, refer to the Bike Parking Location and Installation Guidelines.

Each of the vendors has provided a special MAPC web link, available by clicking on the respective images below. Products listed in the MAPC specific link are the only bike parking products that are eligible for reimbursement as part of this program. The eligible projects have been carefully selected to meet state of the art bike parking requirements.

 Place your order and arrange shipment directly with the vendor(s) of the particular product(s) that you wish to order. You must pay up-front for the cost of the racks and shipping. You are responsible for installation of the purchased equipment.

4. Reimbursement

Racks purchased through the program must be installed according to the Location and Installation Guidelines before you may request reimbursement. To qualify for reimbursement, the racks must be installed within 6 months of the order date, or by the end of April if the 6th month is a winter month.
