Dear friend,

California towns and cities allocate an outsize portion of their civic space to cars: car storage (parking), roads, and freeways.

In Los Angeles, the space devoted to parking cars alone is bigger than the island of Manhattan. That’s enough space to build 1 million units of housing.
The cost to build car parking is more than $24,000 per spot in Los Angeles and almost $28,000 in San Francisco.

The Bike Parking Bill, AB 3153 (Rivas), gives California a change to lower the minimum number of car parking spaces required in new buildings. This will make housing more affordable and our cities more livable.

This bill provides another important benefit: it gives an incentive for developers to build bike parking instead of car parking. Secure bike storage will enable more people to rely on bicycling as their primary mode of transportation.

The Bike Parking Bill has passed the Assembly. The Senate could hold its first hearing as early as August 1, 2020. Your senator needs to hear from you that you support AB 3153. Email your senator now with our easy tool.

Your support made the difference to get this important piece of legislation through the Assembly. Now we need your help to make a difference in the Senate.

Thank you!
