Bikelink electronic lockers are available for public use in the VTA parking lot. Follow the signs to find Conference Room B-104, which is kind of towards the back of the VTA campus.
While this committee can discuss bicycle policies, the actual policies and their implementation are under the purview of the Santa Clara Stadium Authority.
