CalBike and local partners submitted a letter to the California Building Standards Commission advocating for improved bike parking standards within the updated Green Building Standards Code. Key recommendations include adhering to APBP guidelines, providing parking for larger bikes like e-bikes, and ensuring short-term racks are conveniently located. The new standards, effective January 1, 2026, aim to enhance bike accessibility. However, AB 130 legislation may restrict new building code adjustments, potentially affecting bike parking regulations. A workshop on July 30 allows for public input as advocacy efforts for safe bike parking continue.
CalBike, along with 17 local partners, urged the California Building Standards Commission to incorporate robust bike parking standards in the updated Green Building Standards Code.
The letter outlines essential bike parking suggestions, including following APBP guidelines and accommodating larger bikes like e-bikes and cargo bikes.
New bike parking standards are set to take effect on January 1, 2026, with a workshop on July 30 providing a final opportunity for public feedback.
Advocacy for safe, abundant bike parking continues as CalBike engages with stakeholders on the new requirements amidst potential restrictions from new building codes.
