Mizzou Bike Share summary

The program launched Aug. 27, 2012 as the result of a joint effort between the Missouri Students Association and the Residence Halls Association and has since provided 2,506 checkouts as of June 28. Now listed as an MSA service under the tag line “Mizzou Bike Share — Providing rental bikes to students, free of charge,” the program is housed outside the MU Student Center. . . .

Bike Share volunteers are looking for a manager for the upcoming fall semester to help oversee the paperwork and maintenance of the bikes, Jordan said.

“One of the things we’re working on is finding a way to get more permanent funding,” he said. “When we can get that, hopefully we can make our Bike Share manager position paid.”
