2015:  The first Metro Bike hub opens at El Monte Station.  This is the first time that Metro builds a dedicated, secure-access bike parking facility directly at a transit station.

The new $635,000, 1,100+ square-foot secure bicycle parking facility has 56 parking spaces available to commuters who use the recently improved station — the biggest bus terminal west of Chicago, connecting directly to the Rio Hondo Bike Path.
