NYU Bike Share Program
Overview
The first bike-sharing program in NYC will start at the Broome St. and 7th St. dorms! Students who receive the required safety training will be able to reserve and "check out" bikes online for use in getting around the city. The Bike Share will build on last year's bicycle recycling Green Grant by using refurbished campus bikes that have been abandoned, and the project will partner with key neighborhood organizations like Transportation Alternatives.
Purchase of bike racks, bicycles, and other equipment is complete, and safety training workshops have been held, with more than 100 students completing training in 2008. Work on the web-based reservation system for the project is proceeding, with a planned "soft launch" of the pilot system in 2009.
Led by Lindsi Seegmiller, Julia Ehrman and Timothy McNerney, Students, College of Arts and Science and Tisch School of the Arts
