Council Policy Consideration Pasadena Bikeshare supports the General Plan guiding principle, “Pasadena will be a city where people can circulate without a car.” The Mobility Element established Policy 2.11 Explore bicycle share programs or any other bicycle programs that will provide greater access to bicycles for visitors or those that may not own a bicycle. Bikeshare is a component of City’s Complete Streets strategy to encourage the use of non-vehicular modes. It provides the first-mile last-mile option for commuters, residents, visitors, and employees. Bikeshare will encourage transit ridership, reduce automobile use in the Central District and improve access to City destinations.

Background The Department of Transportation applied for and was awarded a 2015 Metro Call for Projects grant to participate in Metro’s Countywide Bikeshare Program. Metro has designated the City of Pasadena to be part of the second phase roll out for the Regional Countywide Bikeshare Program (Downtown Los Angeles is Phase I). Metro’s goal for the program is to improve the commuter experience with public transportation by shared use of a bicycle.
