Citibike group

New York City partners have developed equity principles for bike share. The document highlights economic and health disparities, resident leadership, and strengths assessment, among other points. Take a look and consider how your own city might want to structure big picture equity goals for its bike share system(s).

The document is the result of a collaboration between Bed-Stuy Restoration Corporation, NYC Department of Transportation, Motivate, the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Interfaith Medical Hospital, Myrtle Avenue Revitalization Project, and Bed-Stuy residents.
