Nice press!
[…] The City of Pittsburgh is introducing a bike share program in which users are given a key or code to access a bicycle at parked solar-powered docking stations at any time. The program will include 500 bikes for point-to-point trips across the city. Passes for the system will range from annual, monthly, three-day and 24-hour. Users can take advantage of an app called Spotcycle to determine if a bike or empty dock is available at a station. The Pittsburgh Bike Share is expected to cost $3 million dollars and is a result of public-private partnership between the City of Pittsburgh, Bakery Square, BikePGH and Alta Planning and Design. To date, according to Mayor Ravenstahl’s office, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has provided a $1.6 million dollar grant whicl project organizers are securing a $400,000 match from foundations and $1 million from corporate sponsors. Two public information-sharing meetings are currently scheduled: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 – 6 p.m. Carnegie Mellon University McKenna-Peter-Wright Rooms 2nd Floor, University Center 5302 Forbes Avenue Wednesday, April 3, 2013 – 12 Noon Point Park University Lawrence Hall Ballroom 201 Wood Street For more information, visit BikePGH http://bikepgh.org or Pittsburgh Bike Share www.pghbikeshare.org Additional Media Coverage: Click Here for Media Coverage of Bike Share Program […]
