Description
Bike Share Pittsburgh is dedicated to creating a ubiquitous active transportation network that positions human powered transportation as an integral part of the larger public transit system in the city of Pittsburgh.
Station Density
Bike Share Pittsburgh is dedicated to improving service within pre–existing bike–sharing communities in order to make the system more convenient for riders. Through robust community engagement we will locate additional stations in existing neighborhoods to increase access and use of the system.
System Expansion
Bike Share Pittsburgh is dedicated to reaching more people and expanding public cycling opportunities by extending its network into new neighborhoods throughout the city. In order to continue connecting individuals, businesses, and communities, we aim to expand the established bike–sharing network.
Ridership
Through both station density and system expansion, Bike Share Pittsburgh hopes to both enlist new riders and increase use among registered users. Our community outreach efforts will focus on establishing ways to reach more individuals in need of alternative transportation as well as incorporating ongoing feedback to improve the system for current and potential users.
Bike–Sharing & Cycling Education
An integral part of any bike share system is creating knowledgeable, prepared, and capable riders. Through community outreach, Bike Share Pittsburgh prepares current and potential bike share users for the road ahead. Community outreach events include information on bike safety, bike share system use, and city navigation in order to provide bike share riders with a comprehensive knowledge of the benefits and challenges of cycling in Pittsburgh. These events are arranged for community groups, bike and pedestrian committees, non–profit organizations, businesses, and organizations of all shapes and sizes.
Outreach
Through direct community engagement, Bike Share Pittsburgh hopes to engage the public in any and all system expansion and neighborhood density discussions. Through these discussions, a primary directive is to tackle physical and financial barriers to the system in order to reach those in need of increased public transportation options.
