Transit buses in the Miami Valley feature bike racks, free to use for transit passengers. Use these racks to carry your bike, while you ride in comfort in the bus. Is your commute uphill? Take the bus that way and ride downhill the other way! Unexpected rain shower? Take transit and stay dry!
The transit bike rack service is provided as a benefit for passengers of the Greater Dayton RTA and Springfield SCAT system. Anyone may use the racks at his or her own risk. Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Bus riders are responsible for loading and unloading the bike rack and for keeping an eye on their bicycle. Bicycles must be properly secured to prevent hazards to passengers or buses. See below for bike rack instructions.
Easy-to-use bike racks are available year-round on all buses, routed specifically to provide bicyclists with convenient transportation to work, local bikeways and universities. Each light-weight rack conveniently holds two bicycles and can be used in just seconds.
Transit customers may use bike racks on buses on a first come, first served basis at no extra charge. If the rack is full the customers must wait for the next bus. Bikers may take bicycles on board only if a scheduled bike rack bus arrives without a rack.
