Bike & Ride promotion
In Chi-town our transit agency the CTA is looking for ways to promote and market its bicycle facilities to generate more usage.
They have bike racks inside the rail stationhouses, bus racks, and they let bikes on the trains during non-rush hours.
Are there any marketing/promotional programs or strategies that have tended to draw a lot of people to combine bikes and transit as opposed to driving in the cities where you live?
I'm in the advocacy community and really would like to gain some insight on this.

The availability of bike lockers where I catch the train to DC really encouraged me to start bike commuting. Since I pay a yearly fee for my locker, I feel I have to bike to get my money's worth for that fee. There are also lots of "birdcage" bike racks for free at my station.
