In recognition of National Bike Month, Caltrain will hold an informational meeting on Monday, May 6, focusing on the many amenities the rail agency offers bike and scooter riders.
The meeting will inform current and potential riders of the myriad benefits Caltrain offers to bike and scooter riders, including more than 300 eLockers for bikes at 22 stations and on-board bike and scooter storage. Additionally, the meeting seeks to show people curious about biking and Caltrain how convenient the sustainable option can be by offering training and answering questions about Caltrain’s bike amenities.
Caltrain is a national transit leader in bike access, with one of the largest populations of bike riders onboard of any commuter rail system in the United States. This is due in large part to Caltrain’s history of supporting cyclists, offering on-board bike storage since 1992. Currently, approximately 20% of Caltrain riders are using a bike to get to and from Caltrain stations.
