02. Building Access - Bicycle Share

MYLES
  • Updated

Provide access to a bicycle share system

Rationale: Bicycle share programs support increased convenience for cyclists, promote increased active transportation, contribute to increased physical activity, reduce congestion, and improved air quality.

For the most accurate strategy and documentation requirements, please refer to the digital scorecard made available on the Fitwel Platform.

Requirement Guidance: 

Bicycle stations may be shared across more than one building. A combination of bicycle shares that meet the requirements may qualify for the strategy.
