All NW Connector buses have bike racks. Only single-rider, two-wheeled, bicycles are allowed.
Riders must load, secure, and unload their bikes. Riders are responsible for properly securing their bicycles on the NWConnector bike racks and should ask the bus driver if they are unclear about how to do so. Bike racks are inspected daily. Riders are responsible for notifying the driver if they find the bike rack isn’t working properly. Watch this video demonstrating how to properly secure bikes to the bus:
If the bike rack is full, bikes may be brought on the bus if space is available and at driver discretion. Riders must have control of their bikes at all times if they bring a bike inside a NWConnector bus.
Mobility devices such as wheelchairs take priority and bikes brought inside the bus will be moved to accommodate them.
E-bikes must weight under 40 pounds when using the bicycle rack and under 55 pounds if bought inside a transit vehicle. Devices powered by fuel other than a battery are not permitted. Battery compartments must be sealed. Charging of e-bike batteries onboard transit vehicles is prohibited.
This policy was adopted on April 11, 2025 and will be in effect from this date.
This Bike Policy is standard across the NW Connector Service and Columbia County Rider, Sunset Empire Transit District, Tillamook County Transit District, and Lincoln County Transit.
