Bicycle storage Teams are required to determine the number of expected occupants in the building and determine the number of bicycle storage spaces, shared mobility storage, and stations required. Once the number of bicycle storage spaces is determined, install the short-term and long-term bicycle storage within 600 feet (180 meters) and 300 feet (90 meters) walking distance from any main entrance and functional entry, respectively. Shared micromobility storage facilities, such as those for e-scooters and e-bicycles, as well as bicycle sharing stations and publicly accessible bicycle parking, can account for up to 50% of the required short-term and long-term bicycle storage needs. This encourages the use of communal, readily available transportation solutions and reduces the need for dedicated on-site storage infrastructure.
For commercial, institutional, schools, and healthcare projects, use Equation 5 to determine the number of short- and long-term bicycle storage. School projects can exclude students in third grade or younger from regular occupant count for long-term storage. Healthcare projects can exclude patients from regular project occupant count for long-term storage.

For retail projects, use Equation 6 to determine the number of short- and long-term bicycle storage:
