Metro Rail Operations will be going to the Board in July to seek approval to revise the policy for bikes on Metro trains. The proposed new policy will allow access to bicycles at all times of the day and, to enhance safety, will add signage to direct bicycles to appropriate locations within each rail vehicle. Metro recognizes this as an important step to improving bicycle access to transit, while maintaining safety for all passengers. Other details will be explained at this meeting.
