Description
It is the first regional bicycle sharing system deployed on the West Coast of the United States and also the first regional system in the U.S. that services more than just a single city or adjacent cities.
The system is operated by Motivate (formerly Alta Bicycle Share Inc.) in a partnership with the San Francisco Bay Area Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, and was supported with about US$11 million in initial public funding from several regional transportation, environmental and municipal agencies. Motivate also operates several other programs in the United States. Stations and bikes are provided by 8D Technologies and Motivate. In April 2018, Ford GoBike announced they would soon rollout electric bikes as part of their fleet at no additional cost.
