However, many other opportunities exist, including racks on transit vehicles, long-term bicycle parking and integrating bicycle lanes with transit stations.<\/p>\n<p>To better understand these possibilities, researchers from McGill&#8217;s School of Urban Planning have produced an online survey for anyone living in the Montreal region \u00a0to share their views and preferences related to multi-modal connections.
