POGOH Information Sharing
Status: Existing
Description
The first Healthy Ride expansion rolled out in summer 2018 with funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, Multimodal Transportation Fund. By 2022, Healthy Ride maintained 106 bikeshare stations throughout the city.
In 2022, Bike Share Pittsburgh underwent a complete system replacement and rebrand under a new system name: POGOH. Bike Share Pittsburgh selected PBSC Urban Solutions to provide all of the new hardware and software for POGOH. The equipment replacement effort came from a mounting interest in shared electric–assist bicycles, a lack of nextbike expansion and support in North America, and the upcoming shutdown of 3G network coverage, which the nextbike equipment relied on. Funding for the system overhaul came from local, federal, and state grants. The bike and station branding was designed by Landesberg Design in partnership with Bike Share Pittsburgh and local stakeholders.
POGOH launched on May 6, 2022 with 38 stations equipped with a fleet of 350+ bikes including traditional pedal bikes and e–assist bikes. The new system was designed holding Equity as the core value. Bike Share Pittsburgh established a Community Coalition of partners who helped prioritize inclusive pricing, station siting, and programming. POGOH debuted the first–ever Mobility Justice Membership that offers POGOH's Annual Membership to persons who receive government assistance for only $10 per year and no surcharges for e–assist bike rentals. There will also be a cash payment option using the Cash App available for the Annual Membership, Mobility Justice Membership, and Flex Pass. POGOH has plans to grow to 60 stations in 2023, and has already started funding for future expansions.
The website displays an interactive map which counts the number of bikes at each station and overlays bike routes within the city.
