The Better Bike Share Partnership is a grant-funded collaboration between the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia, The City of Philadelphia, the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) and the PeopleForBikes Foundation to increase access to and use of bike share in underserved communities.

 

The City of Philadelphia is launching a new bike share system in April 2015; this grant is funding 20 stations in underserved communities there, which the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia will work to engage. NACTO's role is to collect and disseminate best practices on bike share, including equity strategies. PeopleForBikes will administer $900,000 in grant funding over three years to partnerships of bike share operators, cities and local non-profits to help U.S. cities develop and implement strategies to increase bike share use in their own underserved communities. PeopleForBikes is also managing a storytelling effort to better communicate the approaches, successes and challenges of the grantees through blogs, articles, images and videos.
