Therefore, we petition WMATA and regional authorities to allow full-sized (non-folding) bicycles on the last car of every third train on each line in the system (or every 8 car train). The train car should be designated a "full-sized bicycle priority" train car. This train car will be the only train car cyclists with full-sized (non-folding) bicycles may use during peak commuter times.
Further, if this is not possible, we petition WMATA to explain to regional authorities concerned with easing traffic congestion and promoting healthy lifestyle choices as to why it is not possible.

Reaching this point has been a long and exhausting climb but seeing the momentum grow confirms we are on the right path. I am tired of the current restrictions on our commutes yet your persistence keeps me moving forward against the bureaucracy. We will keep pushing until someone at the transit authority finally gives us a real answer.

I really need my bike for that last mile commute from the metro stop to my office. This would change my life honestly.
Getting across town with a bike is such a headache during peak hours. Fix this already!
Great idea!
More people would use bicycles if this option were expanded.
Good idea!
Makes a LOT more sense!
This would make taking the Metro much more accessible to me!

More times than I can count, I've forgotten that is rush hour as I go to hop on the metro with my bicycle. I've had to leave my bike in VA on my way to MD, and come back for it later, costing me so much extra time, money and worry about whether or not it's been stolen. And I know I'm not the only one!
