The Regional Bike-Share program complements the Connect Long Island Plan – a regional transportation and development initiative that promotes sustainable long-term economic growth in Suffolk County.
This program will boost the local economy by increasing tourism, extending the reach of existing transit networks, and will provide the critical last-mile connection between transportation hubs, popular destinations, and our vibrant downtown areas.
The goals of this Regional Bike-Share program include decreasing the use of the automobile, encouraging a more active, healthier lifestyle by providing bicycles for intermittent recreational use, and establishing a stronger bicycle culture in Suffolk County, complete with new bike lanes and safe infrastructure.
If you are interested in sponsoring a dock in your area or bringing bike share to your community, contact the Suffolk County Department of Economic Development and Planning at 631-853-4800.
