University of Washington Commuter Services
INTRODUCTION
Each year since 1995, the University of Washington’s Commuter Services has conducted its Annual
Bicycle Parking Inventory and Utilization Survey to assess the adequacy of the University’s bicycle
parking facilities and identify trends in bicycle parking demand. The Survey has two main
components,
counting
the
number
of
bicycles
parked
on
campus
and
recording
any
previously
undocumented changes to the University’s bicycle parking asset inventory. Knowing how and where
UW community members use end‐of ‐trip facilities like bike racks, lockers, enclosures1 and rooms
allows Commuter Services to adjust capacity and provide additional end‐of ‐trip services as
appropriate. Finally, because changes in demand for bicycle parking may be linked to changes in
bicycle ridership, the Annual Survey also provides Commuter Services with a complementary tool for
assessing and corroborating trends in ridership on and to campus.2
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2010 BICYCLE PARKING INVENTORY & UTILIZATION SURVEY
The 2,745 bicycles counted in the 2010 Survey were the most in its fifteen year history. They
represent a 12.8 percent increase from the 2,434 bicycles counted in 2009 and a 3.4 percent
increase over the previous record (2,655), set in 2008.
Since the Survey’s inception in 1995, the number of bicycles counted has grown 24.9 percent.
2010’s overall bicycle rack utilization (number of bicycles / bicycle parking capacity) of 55.7
percent is the highest in the Survey’s history. The 53.2 percent adjusted rack utilization,3 which
accounts for changes in assumed rack capacity between 2009 and 2010, is still the highest rack
utilization in the Survey’s history, 10.9 percentage points greater than in 2009 (42.3 percent
utilization) and 11.9 percentage points greater than in 2008 (41.3 percent utilization).
Compared to 2009, bicycle rack utilization increased by 13.5 percentage points overall, growing
in all areas of campus (ranging between 10.6 and 20.0 percentage points) except for West
Campus (‐7.9 percentage points). 2010’s adjusted rack utilization increased in all areas of
campus (ranging between 7.4 and 20.0 percentage points) except for West Campus (‐10.0
percentage points).
Central Campus experienced the largest single‐year increase in number of bicycles counted,
growing from 681 bicycles in 2009 to 966 in 2010 (increase of 285). West and South Campus
were the only areas of campus that experienced single‐year declines in number of bicycles
counted (‐41 and ‐29, respectively).

2 The primary tool used to assess ridership and mode split trends is the Biennial U‐PASS Survey Report , available
at http://uwcommute.com/files/reports. 3 Adjusted rack utilization was calculated by using the 2009 rack capacity instead of the 2010 rack capacity in
situations where the two differed.

The 2,745 bicycles counted in 2010 are the most in the Survey’s history, and the 55.7 percent rack
utilization is also a University record. Rack utilization increased moderately between 2008 and 2009,
and significantly between 2009 and 2010. The first increase was due primarily to adjustments in the
capacity of “ribbon” racks (see Appendix A, Rack Types, for depictions of rack types). Prior to 2009,
the manufacturer’s rated capacity was used in determining rack utilization; however, in 2009
Commuter
Services
began
using
the actual
capacity
of
ribbon
racks,
as
observed
at
UW
and
elsewhere, in calculating utilization. Actual capacity is a more accurate metric than rated capacity, as
the latter can have the effect of drastically underestimating utilization.5 The increase in utilization
observed in 2010 reflects an overall increase in the number of bicycles counted, as well as further
refinements in calculating capacity for ribbon, toast, and other racks.6 Table 1 shows how utilization
and number of bicycles counted have increased compared to both 2009 and a 2000 baseline.

In recent years, providing secure and covered parking facilities has become a greater priority for
Commuter Services. Parking options such as bike lockers, rooms, and enclosures provide users with
an added level of security and can alleviate the risk and perception of risk of bike theft. Covered bike
parking facilities offer protection from rain, which occurs frequently in the Pacific Northwest. Table 2

5 In most cases a ribbon rack’s actual capacity is 50‐60 percent its rated capacity.
6 In 2010, Commuter Services made a concerted effort to adjust a rack’s actual capacity based on installation
orientation and rack obstructions. This is particularly significant for toast racks – the most common rack type
on campus – which are designed to be accessed from two sides. In the absence of two‐sided access, a toast
rack’s actual rack capacity can be reduced by 50 percent or more. Similarly, other rack types installed too close
to a wall or other obstruction can have their effective rack capacity significantly reduced. 7 Secure capacity includes racks not in locked facilities. High security includes rooms, lockers, and enclosures
8 This number does not include high security capacity, and all high security capacity is covered.

University of Washington Commuter Services
Adequacy of bicycle racks
As part of encouraging and facilitating bicycle use by students, faculty, staff, and visitors, the
University of Washington has an interest in optimizing the placement of bicycle racks around
campus. To that end, one of the objectives of monitoring the use of bicycle parking facilities on
campus
is
to
identify
locations
where
the
existing
facilities
are
not
well‐matched
to
demand.
Commuter Services can then focus on high‐demand locations that may be able to accommodate
additional bicycle parking, as well as low‐demand locations that may be able to “donate” bike parking
to locations in greater need.9 Commuter Services uses three primary methods to identify locations in
need of additional bicycle racks and locations with a surplus of bicycle racks:
1) Evaluation of specific locations with > 80 percent utilization (“High” utilization)
2) Evaluation of specific locations with < 5 percent utilization (“Low” utilization)
3) Feedback from campus bicyclists and building coordinators
Appendices C and D list the locations with high and low utilization in 2010, respectively, and Figure 2

and

utilization

HIGH UTILIZATION LOW UTILIZATION
Figure 2: High and low utilization locations over time
Regarding campus bike rack utilization in general, the following points are of particular interest:
• Sixty‐seven locations across campus had > 80 percent utilization.
• Campus‐wide, covered rack utilization averaged 62 percent, compared to just 49 percent for
uncovered.
• Covered racks represented 63 percent (42 locations) of high utilization locations despite
comprising just 47 percent of total rack locations and 49 percent of total rack capacity.
9 Many of the racks on campus are mobile, and can be redistributed to better match demand. Care is always
taken to maintain a minimum level of capacity at all areas, including those with low utilization.

• Uncovered racks represented 64 percent (25 locations) of rack locations with low utilization,
despite representing 53 percent of all rack locations and 51 percent of total rack capacity.
Conversely, covered racks represented just 36 percent (14 locations) of low utilization
locations, in spite of representing 47 percent of all rack locations.
• Forty locations across campus had < 5 percent utilization.
Between summer 2009 and summer 2010, the University added bicycle parking capacity at the
following locations through a combination of new capacity, capacity re‐balancing, and building
acquisitions, as shown in Table 3:

Bicycle lockers
At the
time
of
the
Survey,
there
were
307
bicycle
lockers
on
campus
with
a maximum
capacity
of
614
bicycles. Eighty‐four locker spaces were vacant and an additional 173 spaces were available due to a
combination of transitions between rentals and the implementation of a quality control process10, 10
were damaged, and 347 were rented out, for an occupancy rate of 56.5 percent.
On June 3rd, 2010, Commuter Services sent a supplementary online survey to current locker tenants.
An estimated 59.1 percent utilization rate was deduced based on responses to the question, “Last
week, how many days did you ride your bike to campus and park in your bike locker?”11 By
10 In 2009, Commuter Services migrated its bicycle locker permitting database to a new database platform. In
the process a number of lockers that should have been “Available” because their tenants had cancelled their
leases instead
defaulted
to
“Hold”
status.
Prior
to
the
2010
Survey,
Commuter
Services
began
implementing
a
strategy to confirm locker statuses. The issue is anticipated to be resolved by end of fall quarter. 11
Interestingly, survey respondents indicated a significantly higher locker utilization rate at all other times of
the year. Based on similarly worded questions, utilization rates from fall, winter, spring, and summer quarters
were derived at 72 percent, 63 percent, 75 percent, and 78 percent, respectively. This may be the result of
survey response bias, wherein respondents overestimate their “good behavior.” It may also indicate that
respondents can more accurately predict their locker utilization rates for a single previous week than for an
entire quarter. Conversely, it may be that something about the week of May 24th
, 2010 caused many
respondents who ordinarily bike to campus and park in their lockers to choose not to.

University of Washington Commuter Services
multiplying this percentage rate by the total number of leased bicycle lockers, it was determined that
205 bicycles occupied lockers on May 19th, 2010.
Abandoned bicycles
In years past, Commuter Services has tagged presumed‐to‐be‐abandoned bicycles during the Bicycle
Parking Inventory and Utilization Survey. This year, UW Moving & Surplus was responsible for
tagging presumed‐to‐be abandoned bicycles and accessories and collaborating with the UW Police
Department on impounds for abandoned property. Approximately 200 bicycles were tagged
throughout the months of June and July, with impounds occurring in September. Seventy bicycles
were impounded by UW Police Department. As per Washington Administrative Code, after 60 days
have passed from the time any bicycle or any part of a bicycle has been impounded, items that have
not been claimed by their rightful owner can be sold by UW Moving & Surplus. In years past, sales of
impounded bicycles have coincided with UW’s annual Ride in the Rain event; however, in 2010,
impounded abandoned bicycles will be retained and sold in early April, 2011, to coincide with Bike to
Campus
Month.
CONCLUSION & NEXT STEPS
The University of Washington continues to promote bicycling to faculty, staff, students, and visitors
by providing end‐of ‐trip facilities including bicycle racks, rooms, enclosures, and lockers. The data
collected in the 2010 Bicycle Parking Inventory and Utilization Survey overwhelmingly demonstrate
that demand for these types of facilities is on the rise. The number of bicycles counted in 2010 was
the most in the Survey’s history and resulted in a record high campus‐wide rack utilization.
Despite these positive trends, Commuter Services still sees room for improvement in its bicycle
parking program.
Managing
the
University’s
enormous
bicycle
locker
inventory
continues
to
be
a
challenge, particularly as campus construction projects necessitate locker and tenant relocations.
Improving the efficiency and quality control of the bicycle locker program will be an emphasis in the
coming year, with the goal being to maximize locker occupancy and utilization in fall 2010 and
sustain those levels throughout subsequent quarters.
Another area for growth will be Commuter Services’ bicycle parking asset management system. In
2010, Commuter Services began migrating its CAD‐ and Excel‐based inventory to a Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) platform. Students in the University’s academic GIS program completed a
GPS rack and locker inventory in spring quarter; that dataset will be compared to and reconciled with
existing inventories and data from the 2010 Bicycle Parking Inventory in order to produce a high‐
quality GIS inventory. Storing bicycle parking assets in a GIS platform will enable Commuter Services
to better manage its inventory and assess demand for bicycle parking in a proactive manner.
Finally, Commuter Services is working to develop a strategic process for installing bicycle parking.
This process will consist of a needs assessment; updating design/parking standards and guidelines;
developing short‐, mid‐, and long‐term implementation strategies; and, a bicycle parking program

evaluation. Adopting this type of process will allow Commuter Services to better prioritize projects
and more proactively address the increasing demand for bicycle parking.

APPENDIX A | SURVEY MATERIALS
Survey instructions
General Instructions
Please count all bikes parked on your portion of the campus map, except on racks labeled “do not
count.” Mark the number of bikes parked at a rack or group of racks by writing the number of bikes
next to the Rack ID Number. Correct mistakes on the map if there are errors, which may include
making changes to the presence and capacity of racks (see “Detailed Instructions,” below). When
counting bikes, count by map label. For example, if the label says 9/RB‐13/A/NC, count all of the
bikes at all 9 racks and report that number. Do not count each rack separately unless it is labeled on
the map as an individual rack. Please use blue ink.
