By providing convenient, economical transportation choices and amenities near public transportation and at high-traffic centers, Bikestations offer a variety of environmental and social benefits that enhance the overall quality of life in communities by:

• Encouraging modal shifts from single-occupancy vehicles to reduce vehicular emissions and alleviate traffic and congestion on roads and at transit park-and-rides;
• Increasing trips on public transportation;
• Increasing trips that improve public health like walking and biking;
• Improving the efficiency of the existing transportation system, and
• Providing a focal point for bicycle commuting and alternative transportation.

Bikestation Seattle and its clean mobility center amenities are the result of a partnership between the Bicycle Alliance [external link], Bikestation [external link], WestStart [external link], King County Metro Transit, Sound Transit [external link] and the City of Seattle [external link].
