For commercial, institutional, and healthcare projects, use Equation 5 to determine the number of short- and long-term bicycle storage. Healthcare projects can exclude patients from regular project occupant count for long-term storage.

PATH 2. BASE BUILDING SHOWER AND CHANGING FACILITIES

Providing adequate infrastructure for active commuting, such as lockers and changing/shower facilities, plays a key role in promoting physical activity for all project occupants, not just cyclists. These amenities are especially beneficial for those who may engage in exercise or other physical activities before work. Offering these facilities signals to occupants that active lifestyles, including active commuting, encourage and support a culture that values health and wellness.

Projects must locate in a building that provides access to on-site showers with changing facilities for 1% of all regular project occupants. Off-site showers and changing facilities are acceptab le if they meet the needs of all occupants and are within a walking distance of 0.25 miles (400 meters).

Project teams should gather occupant information and determine the number of shower and changing facilities required, using Equation 7. Teams must provide vicinity or area map indicating off-site shower and changing facilities.
