Pedal and Park: Sun Tran Repurposes Bike Lockers
October 1, 2024For more than 20 years, Park Tucson has offered an essential service: bike lockers. Located at various parking facilities across the city of Tucson, these secure spaces have provided commuters and cyclists with peace of mind, knowing their bicycles are safe while they navigate their day.
Last month, thanks to Sun Tran, Park Tucson received 11 bike lockers for the community. Originally part of Sun Tran’s facilities, these lockers have found a new home with Park Tucson, making this a collaborative effort to enhance biking infrastructure in the city. Some will replace aging lockers, while others will be installed at additional surface lots.
Bicycle lockers are available for annual rental at several locations:
- City Hall (255 West Alameda Street)
- City-State Garage (498 West Congress Street)
- Library Garage (45 West Alameda Street)
- La Entrada/Tucson Water Garage (310 West Alameda Street)
- Public Works Garage (50 West Alameda Street)
Riders interested in renting a bike locker, please contact Park Tucson (520) 791-5071 to check for availability. Once a locker has been selected, visit the Park Tucson office, 110 East Pennington Street, Suite 150, to fill out the Bicycle Locker Rental Agreement and pay the required fees.
These lockers are open to everyone, from city employees to the public at large. No matter the destination, Park Tucson has a space for your ride. This joint effort between Sun Tran and Park Tucson highlights their shared commitment to supporting sustainable transportation and making Tucson a bike-friendly city where cyclist can thrive.
