Business Notes

Letter: Bike Share Evolves

Letter to the Editor

The extraordinary success of Bike Share is a testament to the foresight of the Department of Transportation, which seeded the program by offering cities funding for both capital expenses (bikes and stations) as well as operating costs (maintenance, software, trucking etc). This full coverage funding was gradually cut back to include only capital expenses and balanced up by increasing funds for bike lanes. Wise and effective.
