The local match required for a standard bike rack is just $23. This rack holds two bicycles, is simple to install into concrete, and comes with tamperproof hardware to prevent theft. The rack is available in many colors at no extra cost.
If you are a non-profit, public or community service agency, you may be eligible for our match program, which provides the local match so that the bike racks are available to you at no cost.
To apply for this grant program, please email kelley.segars@knoxtrans.org or call 215-3815.
Any private business, public agency, or non-profit organization located in Knox, Blount, Jefferson, Anderson, Loudon or Sevier County is eligible for this program. New development may only use this grant for one rack per business. Additional racks may be ordered at full cost.
Process:
- Business/agency applies for rack(s)
- Site visit by staff to identify appropriate location for rack(s); meet with the person who can approve that location (manager or owner)
- Owner/manager request order via email or letter
- Staff orders bike rack(s), which are shipped directly to the business/agency
- Business/agency installs rack in the identified location.
For Bicyclists:
Does your favorite store lack bike racks? Print off these handy cards, fill in the name of the business and sign, then deliver to the store manager. You can let Kelley know which business you've taken them to so she can follow up with the managers.
