Bicycle storage Project teams must provide short-term and long-term bicycle storage within 600 feet (180 meters) and 300 feet (90 meters) of any main entrance and functional entry point, respectively. The number of required spaces for short-term and long-term bicycle storage is based on the number of occupants in the building.

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 to encourage the use of communal, readily available transportation solutions and reduce the need for dedicated on-site storage infrastructure. Shared micromobility storage locations must be communicated to the building occupants and visitors.

For commercial, institutional, school, and health care projects, use Equation 2 to determine the number of short-term and long-term bicycle storage. School projects can exclude students in third grade and younger from regular building occupant count for long-term storage. Health care projects can exclude patients from regular building occupant count for long-term storage.
