Can someone who has some of that magic dust that made Valley Metro put four bike racks in each light rail vehicle please send some over to Houston? Serious, BikeHouston needs some assistance. Could someone please contact me via direct email or telephone? Thank you. Phone is (713) 689-2274.

I wish I knew who made this happen. When the rail vehicle plans were first made public for review several years ago one of the first things I checked was how bicycles could be transported and the plans at that time already had four internal vehicle bike storage locations, so someone got that in quite early.
This May 2006 record of decision includes on train bike storage, but doesn't specify amount

The CAZB is active in light rail bicycle advocacy:
