Secure Bike Storage at BLI and Fairhaven Transit Station Adds to Bellingham’s Expanding Bike Parking Network
BELLINGHAM, WA — A new wave of modern, secure bike lockers has been installed at the Bellingham International Airport and Fairhaven Transit Station, giving travelers, commuters, and residents more options for safely storing bicycles while connecting to the Bellair Charters Airporter, Greyhound, the Alaska Marine Highway System, Amtrak Cascades, and flights operated by Alaska Airlines, Horizon Air, San Juan Airlines, and Allegiant Air.
The new locker systems are a collaboration between the Port of Bellingham and Whatcom Transportation Authority (WTA), building on the growing network of public bike lockers recently introduced by the City of Bellingham at key destinations across downtown Bellingham.
“Adding bike lockers to the airport and Fairhaven Station is an important step in making Bellingham a more connected, climate-friendly, and equitable city,” said Michael Shepard, Port of Bellingham Commissioner. “These investments by the Port of Bellingham and Whatcom Transit Authority make it easier for residents and visitors to choose active transportation while supporting jobs, travel, and recreation throughout the county.”
Each locker is fully enclosed, weather-protected, and can be reserved in advance or on-the-spot for short- or long-term use at $0.05/hour via the Movatic mobile app, allowing users to confidently combine biking with transit, Amtrak, Alaska Ferry Service, or air travel.
“After years of advocacy, we’re excited to see secure bike storage expanding to more local transportation hubs,” said Laura Weiss, a Walk & Roll Bellingham board member. “Whether someone’s commuting to work or catching a flight, having a safe place to store their bike is essential for supporting our regional transportation and climate goals. And, it means a more vibrant, equitable city.”
The lockers are part of a broader effort to improve multimodal infrastructure in Bellingham and Whatcom County, reduce barriers to biking, and give people of all ages and abilities more safe, flexible transportation options.
