The movement

Rethinking mobility, one trip at a time

What if parking became the real catalyst for transforming our cities?

Vélo-Transit offers a practical approach to accelerating the transition toward more active, sustainable, and better-integrated mobility.

The reality

An imbalance in the ways we get around

For decades, our cities have been designed with the car in mind. The result: traffic congestion, strain on infrastructure, underutilized spaces, and a reliance on motorized transportation.

Meanwhile, cycling still struggles to establish itself as a practical everyday option. This is not due to a lack of interest, but rather to a lack of adequate infrastructure.

of citizens own a bicycle and have used it in the past year.

The turning point

What if it all started with parking?

A bike that is parked safely and conveniently is a bike that gets used.

By making parking simple, accessible, and reliable, we remove a major barrier to adopting cycling as a mode of transportation. What may seem like a minor detail then becomes a powerful tool for changing habits.

12% to 25%
Trips under 15 km could be made by bike with the right infrastructure in place.

The impact

A tangible impact on the urban landscape

Every shift from car to bike has an immediate impact on the urban environment. When a driver becomes a cyclist, a parking space is freed up. On a large scale, these changes allow us to rethink how we use our spaces.

Space-saving

6 for 1

One car parking space can accomodate up to 6 bikes

Reclaimed space

6,5%

of public space reclaimed for every 12% increase in cycling

Development costs

$4,000 vs. $12,000

A more accessible infrastructure solution for sustainable mobility.

The solution

A structured network to support active mobility

At Vélo-Transit, we do more than just install modules.

We develop bike parking networks designed at a regional scale.

Coherent and accessible transportation networks integrated into people’s daily travel habits, helping to:

  • Supporting intermodality

  • Making everyday travel easier

  • Increase the use of bikes for everyday transportation

  • Optimizing the use of urban spaces

Because a well-designed network changes the way we get around… and tangibly improves our quality of life.

From idea to action

The transition to more active mobility does not rely on a single solution. It is built through a series of concrete decisions. Bike parking is one of them.
