Comments:

SFRTA added two bike cars in 2017 for a total of 12, to accommodate passengers boarding the train with bicycles. The new bike cars have 14 racks, providing more room to maneuver bicycles on and off the train.

Forty bike lockers were added at the newly reconstructed Pompano Beach Station. Bike lockers system-wide are in high demand and near capacity. Tri-Rail has bicycle lockers and racks available at all stations except at the Miami Airport station where lockers will be install when construction work there allows.

Tri-Rail’s First Bike Car was added to the regular fleet on July 24, 2015. SFRTA currently has 12 bike cars, which are used on the trains with highest ridership. SFRTA's goal is to have bike cars on every train.
