It is aimed at social housing, schools and educational establishments, railway stations and intermodal hubs, public spaces and sites, private condominiums for residential use and spaces for bicycle delivery services. The program covers up to 40% excl. tax of the costs quoted, with ceilings depending on the type of installation required. To be eligible, the bike shelter must meet certain conditions, particularly in terms of safety and quality.
To benefit from the subsidy, all you need to do is use a member company like ByCommute! The grant will be paid once the bike shelter has been installed and all the necessary documents have been submitted.

For employees who are cyclists, the program offers personalized support from a specialist in bicycle mobility, advice and training on everyday bicycle use, and help with bike maintenance and repair.
