An increasing number of communities are adopting bicycle parking ordinances that specify a minimum level of bicycle parking for different building types and land uses. While these usually relate to new developments, the level of provision required can be used as a guide to retrofit communities also.

A collection of bicycle parking ordinances can be found at www.massbike.org/lawlegis/parking.htm and of particular help may be a comparison of nine municipal ordinances at www.massbike.org/lawlegis/parkcomp.htm

Other sample communities with parking ordinances include

Madison, Wis

Portland, Ore.

Schaumburg, Ilinois (click on Title 15, Chapter 154 section 125)

South Australia
