Bike Racks for ME Program

The MaineDOT and GO MAINE Commuter Connections, in partnership with the Bicycle Coalition of Maine, support and encourage bicycling as an important mode of transportation. We’ve created Bike Racks for ME for communities, organizations and workplaces across Maine to help expand bicycle parking opportunities. The only cost to you or your community is the local match of 20%.

PROGRAM UPDATE: As of mid-March 2010, orders have exhausted current available funding. We are still accepting applications for orders, but ask that they NOT be accompanied by a check for the local match.

If you have sent in an application with a check for the local match:

• It will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
• It will remain in the queue as we await potential additional funds to process the order.
• If the continued program is unavailable we will promptly refund your local match.

If you are about to send in an application:

• Wait! Please use the new application below. It will explain the current status of the program and the new procedure.
• We will accept your order and place it on hold until we receive notification of additional funding.
• If and when additional funding becomes available we will contact you and request a check for the local match. Your order will be processed when we receive it.
• We will promptly notify you if continued program funding is unavailable.

This program provides bike racks to encourage bike commuting by increasing secure parking options for bicyclists. Bicycling is a practical means of transportation and a clean and green way to get around. The bicycle commuting trend is catching on and we know that the ability to securely park and lock-up a bike is an integral part to bike commuting and riding in general. That’s why we created the Bike Racks for ME program.

There are two types of racks to choose from, the Bike Dock and the Stadium Rack.  The Bike Dock holds two bikes and the free-standing Stadium Racks hold six or eight bikes.  And don’t let the picture fool you, the stadium rack is full size. See the specifications in the application packet for details.

Quantities are limited and prices are valid through July 2010.
(If this date has passed, contact us for current program status and pricing.)
