“This Expansion of Metro’s Bike Share Program to Hollywood will make it easier for Angelenos and visitors to reach popular destinations by bike and get on and off Metro’s B (Red) Line, ”said the President of the Metro Board of Directors and President of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Hilda Solís.
City officials hope that this expansion in Hollywood will facilitate the connection for users with other bike-sharing stations in East Hollyood, Los Feliz and Silver Lake .
From released in July 2015, have been made more of 1.3 million trips through the bike share program , representing 4.3 million miles traveled.
“The Metro Bike Share Program is one of our key initiatives to improve first and last mile access to and from our transit stations. The combination of transit and bike sharing can help everyone better access local destinations and help reduce car travel in our county, ”said Metro Executive Director Stephanie Wiggins.
Metro secured a $ 1.5 million dollar sponsorship from DoorDash for one year and compensates the cost of the program thanks to the funds raised by the advertisements.
