Bike Share
JUMP Bikes Return With a Lime Twist
Bike share relaunch provides a socially distanced, affordable option
September 22, 2020: Three weeks on from the relaunch of shared bikes in the Sacramento region, the reception has been welcoming.
Lime, which recently took over Uber’s JUMP-branded bike share and scooter business, started operations on August 29 in Sacramento and West Sacramento and is working with the City of Davis to relaunch shared bikes there soon. Lime began with 200 bikes across the two cities and will ramp up to 600 bikes based on rider demand.
Addressing Equity One Issue at a Time
Engagement and Infrastructure Issue Briefs
The Sacramento region’s Bike Share is growing on a daily basis and has become a viable transportation choice to get around. The popularity of the system has shed light on the missing public infrastructure when it comes to the availability and location of bike racks though. There are barriers for all people when it comes to safe-cycling and bike-safe infrastructure but, it becomes a greater barrier for low-income communities and communities of color.
Round Two for Hub Recommendations
Provide input for more hub locations
JUMP has issued a second round of community engagement for residents to provide feedback.
If you have a recommendation for where more bike share hubs should go, let us know. Get your gears cranking and tell us where you’d like to see a hub installed!
