Bike Rack Safety Tips
Your safety is important to TRANSPO. We'd like you to enjoy the bike racks and use them in a safe manner. The following are a few tips to help both you and your operator:
As the bus approaches, have your bike ready to load. Remove water bottles, pumps or any loose items.
Always get the driver's attention before you load or unload your bicycle.
Always load from the curb side of the street
Place bike in outside slot of rack if empty.
Make sure the support arm is resting on the tire and not on the fender or frame
Sit up front and keep and eye on your bicycle
Return empty rack to the upright position, after you remove your bicycle.
Loading Your Bike on TRANSPO Buses
Remove water bottles and other loose items from bike before loading
As bus approaches, motion to driver that you will be loading your bike
After bus has stopped, load your bike, from front or curbside only. NEVER load your bike from a traffic lane!
Squeeze center handle up to release latch, then fold rack down
Load your bike, fitting wheels into slots in rack
Raise support arm up and over tire so that hook rests at highest point on bike wheel
Board TRANSPO and enjoy your ride!
Unloading Your Bike on TRANSPO Buses

Unload bike from front or curbside only. NEVER unload your bike from a traffic lane!
Raise support arm off of tire, folding down to a secure position
