The Center for Community Transportation (CCT) is a nonprofit whose vision is to achieve a community where travel by shared and active transportation is healthy, safe, affordable, and convenient for all.Launching an e-bikeshare program in Ithaca is the next step in reaching this goal. The CCT team is excited to partner with the City of Ithaca, along with other community stakeholders, in launching this e-bikeshare program prioritizing local control and long-term sustainability. Led by Director of Micromobility Jeff Goodmark, we plan to roll out a fleet of e-bikes as quickly as funding is secured; 100 (at first) and eventually 400 (at peak) that can be easily and conveniently rented to community members for the short trips that are the backbone of daily transport.In order to run this robust program, we are assembling the necessary $750,000 for the initial purchase of the fleet and support vehicles, and an ongoing, additional $150,000 per year for operating expenses.IMMEDIATE OPPORTUNITY: We are also right at the moment assembling $125,000 to take advantage of a limited time opportunity to bring an initial fleet of 100 bikes to Ithaca THIS FALL SEPTEMBER 2022! We have tentative commitments for roughly half of this amount, and are very focused on closing this gap to bring bikeshare here as soon as possible.Donate Introduction Summary News and Updates Our Office Community Bike Share Schedule Appointment Start Now InstagramFacebook
