Provide occupants access to dedicated bicycle parking
Rationale: Dedicated bicycle parking that is secure and covered encourages the use of bicycles for transportation and recreation and reduces reliance on automobiles, contributing to reduced risk of chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes, as well as improved air quality resulting from fewer automobiles being on the road.
For the most accurate strategy and documentation requirements, please refer to the digital scorecard made available on the Fitwel Platform.
