MAPC Unveils New Regional Bike Parking Program

The Metropolitan Area Planning Council has unveiled a new program to help communities provide bicycle parking at minimal cost. This program, which is supported by the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Executive Office of Transportation, and the Federal Highway Administration, provides communities with the opportunity to purchase bike racks and related equipment and receive full reimbursement for the purchase. All 101 communities in the MAPC region are eligible to participate, as are the DCR and the MBTA. This is a great opportunity to get new or upgraded bike racks for parks, schools, business districts, and transit hubs – don’t let your community miss out!
