Bike & Ride on Transit

All Metrorail stations and Metrobus Park and Ride lots are equipped with bicycle racks. Fuel-powered (anything that is combustible/flammable) bikes, scooters or other means of conveyance are NOT permitted on any DTPW vehicles. 

BikeLids, enabling you to secure your bike using your own padlock and additionally offering covered protection, are available free on a first-come, first-served basis at Metrorail stations and other locations.

Electric Bikes (e-Bikes)

Electric Bicycles (e-bikes) may be carried/walked onto DTPW property and DTPW vehicles including Metrorail, Metromover, and Metrobus, provided that the following parameters are met:
  • Motorized e-bikes may only be battery-powered.
  • Motorized e-bikes must be switched “off” while on-board transit vehicles within stations or bus terminals.
  • Compact/small foldable e-bikes must be folded and can be brought onto Metrobus vehicles provided that they do not block aisles, or doors, occupy patron seating or interfere with other patrons or otherwise cause a tripping hazard.
Please note that commercial motorized e-bikes (those which are rented and not personally owned) are prohibited from all transit vehicles.

Motorized Scooters

The following information is being provided as guidance for those patrons wishing to bring motorized scooters onto all three modes of transportation operated by the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) including Metrorail, Metromover and Metrobus.
 
A motorized scooter is defined by Florida Statute 316.003(82) as: “Any vehicle not having a seat or saddle for the use of the rider, designed to travel on not more than three wheels, and not capable of propelling the vehicle at a speed greater than 30 miles per hour on level ground.”
 
Motorized scooters may be carried/walked onto DTPW property and DTPW vehicles including Metrorail, Metromover and Metrobus, provided that the following parameters are met:
  • Commercial motorized scooters (those which are rented and not personally owned) are prohibited from all transit vehicles. 
  • Motorized scooters may only be battery-powered.
  • Fuel-powered (anything that is combustible/flammable) scooters are NOT permitted on any DTPW vehicles.
Motorized scooters must be folded if designed to do so and safely stowed while on Metrorail, Metromover or Metrobus vehicles and must not block aisles, or doors, occupy patron seating or interfere with other patrons or otherwise cause a tripping hazard.
 
Motorized scooters must be switched “off” while on-board transit vehicles, within stations or bus terminals, and must be covered if wet or dirty. Motorized scooters cannot be operated within DTPW vehicles, stations, bus terminals or bus passenger shelters.
 
Motorized scooters and riders must abide by all applicable federal, state, and local codes, rules and regulations.
 
Failure to abide by these parameters may result in a prohibition of transit services.
