Key Initiative
Expanding Bike Parking in Saint Paul
Ample bike parking benefits local business as well as the local community. Move Minnesota works collaboratively to expand biking parking throughout the city. We offer a 50-50 cost sharing program for Saint Paul businesses and organizations interested in adding bike racks, corrals, or rooms. With help from Move Minnesota, new bike parking is easy and affordable!
Saint Paul is increasingly bike friendly. Bike parking is an important part of that–and more is needed. As the capital of our state, how people get around in Saint Paul sets an example across Minnesota for what transportation can and should be like. At Move Minnesota, we guide eligible businesses and organizations through the process to transform their locations into more bike-friendly places with bike parking readily available for visitors and employees. Eligible projects can receive up to $1,000 in support. We’ve helped organizations of all sizes add bike parking for their staff and patrons over the years. We can do the same for you!
Why install bike parking?
- Interest in biking is up significantly in recent years and is booming during the pandemic
- Offer staff and patrons a safe, convenient place to secure their bikes
- Be seen as a bike-friendly business
- Support cleaner air and do your part to reduce congestion
- Increase your clientele without having to increase parking space for cars
The process was great from start to finish, and the bike racks are great as well! They are being utilized by staffers and program participants, and also serve as a community resource for neighboring businesses, organizations, and residents to use while exploring the Cathedral Hill area.
