Bicycle Registration

Mission

In 2008, the District switched from a mandatory to a voluntary bicycle registration system. Administered by the National Bike Registry, this system allows law enforcement anywhere to access the database allowing for greater success in recovering stolen bicycles.

DDOT shall develop policies and programs to encourage and provide for the safe use of bicycles for recreational and work related travel. (DDOT Establishment Act, D.C. Code § 50-921.04).
