Electronic Bicycle Lockers
This program aims to reduce air pollution in the Bay Area by supporting clean, alternative modes of transportation.
Applications are currently being accepted and funding for eligible projects is available on a first-come, first-served basis, through 4:00PM on Wednesday, June 22, 2016 (all paper applications must be postmarked by this date), or until all funds have been spent.
For FYE 2016, $3.84 million in Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) funds are available for Bicycle Facility projects including approximately $840,000 for bicycle parking and $3 million for bikeways. Last fiscal year, nearly $637,000 in TFCA funds were awarded to support the installation of new secure bicycle parking, which resulted in the installation of 2,200 bicycle rack parking spaces and 220 electronic lockers.
