Bicycle Parking
To request a bicycle parking rack along a DC street, email the Bicycle Program Manager or call (202) 671-2331 with the exact location.
Bicycle parking is required for all off street parking garages and lots. See Bicycle Parking Regulations for details.
For more information on which racks to use (and NOT to use), see the Bicycle Parking Guidelines* developed by the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals.
Child Helmets
DDOT, in cooperation with the Metropolitan Police Department, is giving away helmets to children under 16. Helmets for this age group are required by law. A child can go to a local police station, accompanied by an adult, to have a helmet fitted.
