A strategic approach to improving bicycle parking at public transport

Overview

Action 1.21: Develop a bicycle parking strategy in collaboration with key stakeholders to support the planning, delivery and management of appropriately designed bicycle parking across all public transport.

Lead agency: Department of Transport and Main Roads

Status: Complete

Achievements

Riding to and from public transport is a sustainable and healthy travel choice for all users. 

We talked to existing and potential users of bicycle parking at stations and stakeholders who manage, build and operate bicycle parking, to gather input to help develop a new strategy for bicycle parking at public transport.

The Bicycle Parking for Public Transport: A strategy for South East Queensland identifies 3 priorities to encourage and enable more people to ride to public transport:

1. planning for consistent delivery of bicycle parking at public transport stations
2. building secure and convenient bicycle parking
3. encouraging more people to use bicycle parking.

Next steps

We will: 

• publish and promote the strategy
• begin to implement actions from the strategy in 2023, in partnership with our planning and delivery agencies
• work with agencies to deliver bicycle parking which is secure, easy and safe to access
• track the strategy's progress in making it easier for more people to choose to ride to public transport.
