Bike share is a region-wide program that allows the public to rent bicycles docked at self-service stations. You can access the bikes with a day pass or annual membership. Pick them up at one station and drop them off at another. Bike share serves both locals and visitors; a fun and healthy way to reach your destination. Bike share complements other forms of public transit and supports local businesses. Bike share is rolling in 500 cities worldwide with over 500,000 bikes. By the end of next year, 75 cities in North America will have a program, including our region! Coast Bike Share is Tampa’s community Bike Share Program. Residents and visitors will have access to 300 public bicycles distributed throughout downtown, Ybor City, and Hyde Park. Use the bikes to commute to work, do errands, visit friends, or just for fun! Bike Share will enhance transportation options by making it possible to quickly access a public bicycle near places of employment, tourist destinations, educational institutions, and transit stops. The program seeks to encourage bicycle usage as an environmentally-friendly and congestion reducing transportation option.

3. INTRODUCTION
TO BIKE SHARE

4. INTRO TO BIKE SHARE
Bicycle sharing is a healthy and sustainable form of public
transportation in which bicycles are made available for shared
use by individuals on a short term basis. The bicycles are geared
primarily for transportation: to get to and from work, and for
leisure and recreational trips. Proven to be incredibly successful
in cities around the globe, bike share provides a fun and healthy
way to commute to work, zip around town and explore the sites.
The City of Tampa is preparing to launch a bike
share program with a network of 300 bicycles
and 30 stations to serve Tampa Bay area
residents, workers and visitors.
CycleHop is reaching out to local companies
to gauge interest for supporting the new
program through sponsorship, advertising
and membership endeavors. Bike share is a
genuine and rewarding way to connect with your
customers and employees while energizing the
community. With your help, bikes will start rolling
soon and Tampa will become an even better
place to live, work and visit.
PROGRAM HISTORY
Mayor Bob Buckhorn embraces the new bike
share program as a cornerstone of Tampa’s
investment in transportation infrastructure. The
goal is to connect communities, attractions,
and destinations; create green jobs; and attract
companies and leading professionals to the
region. This foundation will allow Tampa Bay’s
economy to grow and prosper.
In late 2012, Mayor Buckhorn and the City of
Tampa requested proposals for a bike share
system. “I was pleased to announce that a
partnership between CycleHop and Social
Bicycles won,” said Mayor Buckhorn. “While we
join cities like London and Washington, D.C. in
having a bike sharing system, we will be the first
large city in the United States to implement a
fourth generation program.”
The city and other local partners have also
committed to a vast expansion of bicycling
infrastructure alongside the bike share
program’s launch with a number of major
projects in the coming years. This includes three
mixed use trails. The Tampa Riverwalk will,
once complete, run 2.3 miles along the east
bank of the Hillsborough River; The Selmon
Greenway, will create a linear park below a
current expressway tying Ybor City to the river;
and the Green Spine will allow for a seamless
connection from Ybor City to Hyde Park through
the heart of downtown.
Ultimately, bike share it is about creating
community, making it easier to get around town
to visit business, restaurants, parks, and events.
It is about the serendipitous stop at the shop
you've never noticed, because you took a route
you had never imagined.
Mayor Buckhorn stated it best, “Intellectual
capital is mobile. Young, educated employees
can work anywhere. Through programs like bike
share, we are transforming Tampa into a more
livable, connected city.“
