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.
Requirements
Requirement Guidance: For buildings with multiple entrances, identify a main building entrance that is used to access a common area within the building such as a lobby, reception area, or main circulation pathway. |
Demonstrate compliance with the below:
Accessible Dedicated Bicycle Parking (Full Credit):
To achieve full credit, demonstrate compliance with all the following requirements:
Municipal or publicly accessible bicycle parking areas do not qualify for the strategy.
- Provide bicycle parking that is free of charge and is exclusively accessible to all occupants within the project. Municipal or publicly accessible bicycle parking areas do not qualify for the strategy.
- Ensure that the bicycle parking is covered from the elements and includes features that allows for bicycles to be locked.
- Locate the bicycle parking on-site within 1/4 mile or 400 meters of a main building entrance(s) of all regularly occupied buildings within the project.
- Provide bicycle parking spaces equivalent to 2.5% of the total number of project occupants.
Compliance Documentation
One document type may be used to demonstrate compliance with more than one requirement and documentation may be uploaded separately or as one file.
Provide the below to demonstrate compliance with each requirement:
Design Pathway
Demonstrate compliance with all the following requirements:
Requirement 1
- Checkbox to certify that the bicycle parking will be free of charge and exclusively accessible to all occupants within the project.
Requirement 2
- Upload an annotated design drawing or photograph showing the bicycle parking.
Requirement 3
- Upload an annotated plan showing the following:
– the planned location of the bicycle parking within the project
– all regularly occupied buildings within the project
– the distance between the planned bicycle parking and a main building entrance(s) of the furthest building served by the short-term bicycle parking.
Requirement 4
- Textbox to input the number of bicycle parking spaces that will be provided
- Textbox to input the number of occupants within the project
(Bicycle Parking Percentage will be automatically calculated in the Platform)
