Transportation Seminar: Beyond the Bike Hook: Linking Bicycles and Transit
Friday, January 28, 2011 - 12:00pm to Friday, January 28, 2011 - 1:00pm

Portland State University
Center for Transportation Studies
Winter 2011 Transportation Seminar Series

Speaker: Colin Maher, TriMet

Topic: Beyond the Bike Hook: Linking Bicycles and Transit

Abstract: While TriMet and other transit agencies serve many commuters by having racks for bikes on trains and buses, large bike parking facilities in global capitals of urban bicycling provide the key link between bikes and transit. Following the lead of European and Asian cities, the Portland region is starting to develop a network of bike-transit facilities; TriMet is piloting smart bike parking technology in the form of electronic bike lockers and "Bike & Rides". This presentation discusses the background and planning for bike-transit integration in the region and shares insights into bike-transit travel patterns, habits, and market segmentation gained from recent rider surveys.

When: Friday, January 28, 2011, 12:00 - 1:00pm

Where: PSU Urban Center Building, SW 6th and Mill, Room 204
