 You will find our bike racks on the front exterior of all Jefferson Transit buses. The rack holds up to two single seat, two-wheeled, non-motorized bicycles. Cyclists secure their bicycles independently of one another.
Regular fares apply for each passenger. Your bike rides FREE!
Where can you go?
Jefferson Transit serves most destinations, including shopping centers, bike routes and paths, parks, schools, the airport and downtown New Orleans. Please check our current schedules for specific route information.
It's as Easy as 1-2-3
- View a short training video that illustrates the safe and proper use of the bike rack.
- Practice mounting a bike on a bike rack. (Practice bikes are available at both locations)
- Sign a waiver stating that you assume full responsibility for safely loading and unloading the bicycle. (Bring valid picture identification with you.)
That’s all you need to do to get your permit and it takes less than 15 minutes!
The Permit
For safety reasons, you must obtain a permit before using the bike racks. The permit tells the bus operator that you know the how to secure your bike on the bike rack.
You must show your permit to the bus operator whenever you ride the bus with your bike.
Only cyclists 14 years of age or older can receive a permit. Children under 14 years of age may travel with an adult who has a permit; however, the adult must load the bicycle. A parent or guardian must sign the waiver for anyone under 18 years of age.
NOTE: The permit issued to you cannot be used by another cyclist.
