Bicycle Program
Multiple Modes of Transportation
Multi-modal refers to the use of two or more modes of transportation in a single trip (i.e., bicycling and riding the bus or train). Accommodating bicycles on mass transit allows cyclists to increase the distance they can travel and provides an alternative to riding at night or in poor weather.
Victoria Avenue is considered a multi-modal corridor in the South of the City, with bike lanes, a bike path, and an equestrian path.

The multi-modal network connection consists of two key elements:
- Bicycle parking facilities at transit stops
- Bicycle accomodation on trains and buses
Bicyclists may need bicycle transport and parking facilities for connections with and use of other transportation modes.
