Equity in bike share isn’t going to happen on its own.
Innovators will have to experiment with strategies and efforts in order to find best practices. Luckily, there are at least half a dozen cities in the United States ready to do this.
We would know. The Better Bike Share Partnership announced today that it has awarded nearly $375,000 in grants to bike share operators and community organizations that are working to make bike share programs more equitable. The Partnership has also funded an academic research team that will look at data and equity outcomes in Philadelphia, which launched their bike share system Indego in late April.
The winning cities include:
- Austin
- Boston
- Brooklyn, NY
- Washington, DC
- Charlotte
- Chicago
- Portland
