Plan will identify price discounts for bike use…

Pasadena, CA, September 1, 2009 -- The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (“LACMTA”) and CALSTART are creating an implementation plan for the development of a folding bike subsidy program.  The program will provide price discounts for the purchase of a collapsible bike to use in conjunction with transit.  A major goal of the program is to motivate commuters to use a bicycle as a transit connector instead of a car.  This program will leverage the success, knowledge, and experience that CALSTART acquired in working with LACMTA on a similar project, MyGo-Pasadena, which subsidized the use of electric bicycles in lieu of single occupancy vehicles.  To learn more about this project, please contact Fred Silver, fsilver@calstart.org.
