Bike share stations are one of the most noticeable components of a bike share system. As a result, decisions about where to locate stations are some of the most public and challenging aspects of the bike share planning process. The NACTO Bike Share Station Siting Guide provides high-level guidance on how to make those decisions.

The Guide highlights best practices in station siting from around the United States, provides guidance on different types of bike share stations, outlines essential principles for city officials, and includes examples of different siting types. This easy-to-follow guidance includes both technical drawings and photos to show how decision-makers can reimagine streetscapes that include bike share stations.

The NACTO Bike Share Station Siting Guide is part of a collection of resources created in collaboration with the Better Bike Share Partnership. It is made possible with a grant from The JPB Foundation to further the conversation around equity in bike share.
