NYC DOT to build network of 500 secure bike parking locations, seeking public feedback on locations through new online feedback portal

The 2026 NYC Bike Map provides an in-depth look at New York’s ever-growing bike network spanning all five boroughs

The start of Bike Month by launching the public planning process for NYC DOT’s forthcoming Secure Bike Parking Program and publishing the 2026 NYC Bike Map was celebrated today. NYC DOT will build a network of 500 secure bike parking locations and has launched an online feedback portal to gather suggestions on where to place them. Access to secure bike parking and an updated bike network map will continue to fuel New Yorkers’ embrace of cycling, a safe and environmentally friendly transportation option.

Secure Bike Parking Feedback Portal 

New Yorkers are encouraged to share feedback on a new online portal to help determine locations for the launch of New York City’s secure bike parking program. 

This secure bike storage network is critical because many New Yorkers lack in-home bike storage space or cannot carry heavier e-bikes or cargo bikes up stairs in apartment buildings, significant barriers to bike ownership. 

NYC DOT will plan storage locations equitably across the five boroughs to help ensure all New Yorkers can experience the benefits of cycling. The program will also include discounted memberships for low-income New Yorkers.

On the feedback portal, New Yorkers can share what type of bicycle they would like to store (standard, e-bike, cargo, adaptive, etc.) and the length of time (long-term, short-term, overnight, weekends, etc.) at each suggested location. New Yorkers may also indicate preferred amenities such as e-bike battery charging, tire pumps, and bike repair stations. Mapping Our Bike Network 

For the first time this year, the 2026 NYC Bike Map will be interactive online, allowing New Yorkers to plan trips based on types of bike routes and points of interest. A static version of the map will also be available online. Print versions of the map will be available for free at bike shops, libraries, and community centers across the five boroughs.

The map displays different types of bike lane infrastructure: protected bike lanes (physically separated from traffic including Greenways), conventional bike lanes (painted lanes on streets), shared lanes (roads shared with vehicles), and links (connections between bike routes). It also shows locations of Citi Bike stations, along with bike shops and bike rental businesses throughout the five boroughs of New York City.
