Get Moving Bike share hits Jefferson City - How did it get started? | Central MO Breaking News

Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

Bike share is a public bicycle system, a community amenity were bikes are made available for shared use to individuals on a short term basis for a price.

Here in Jefferson City, we launched a bike share program through a company called Spin. Spin’s model is dockless, which means bikes will be available all over the city. Download Spin’s app to your smartphone, enter your payment information, get your code and unlock your bike. It’s that simple.

Where did this idea come from and who are the players involved in getting it launched?

This idea started two and a half years ago with myself, the City of Jefferson, JeffTran, and Jefferson City Parks and Recreation. We were a small and mighty group interested in bringing bike share to Jefferson City to encourage more physical activity and provide a transportation alternative.
