Join the Operation Hazard ID team on survey rides and take independent action by filling out a street survey form.

Get More Bike Parking
Know an indoor parking garage that would be a great place to park your bike? The City Department of Transportation will give private parking garages free racks. Tell the garage manager to call the City Racks program at 212-442-7705 and also report the location and the garage contacts to T.A. (212-629-8080).

Get Bike Access to Office Buildings
Ask the head building manager at your workplace what the bike access policy is. If they do not allow bikes and cite insurance company restrictions, find out the name of the insurance company and request a copy of the bike restrictions. Send the info to T.A.
