Provide occupants access to short-term bicycle parking
Rationale: Nearby, free, and accessible short-term bicycle parking with adequate capacity results in improved air quality from fewer automobiles on the road, as well as promotes the use of bicycles for transportation and recreation, which is associated with a lowered risk of chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
For the most accurate strategy and documentation requirements, please refer to the digital scorecard made available on the Fitwel Platform.
