From 2000 to 2010, Evanston's recorded number of bicycle commuters increased by almost 50 percent. The City has already built more than 50 miles of bike facilities, including protected bike lanes, signed bike routes, and off-street bike paths, and continues to expand and improve its system. 'Divvy provides community members and visitors access to an easy, healthy, affordable and environmentally friendly way to complete their last mile of travel or an option for quick trips around town.' The Divvy Bike Share system advances Evanston's goal of having safe, integrated, and accessible transportation options available to all. 'I'm excited to welcome the Divvy Bike Share program to Evanston,' said Evanston Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl. Divvy now joins other regional bike share networks operated by Motivate International, Inc., including Citi Bike, Hubway, Capital Bike Share and Bay Area Bike Share, in providing a transportation network that serves residents across municipal boundaries with one single, seamless membership. Riders can seamlessly take a bike from any station anywhere in the network and return it to any other station. Divvy memberships provide riders with 24/7 access to bikes in Chicago, Evanston and Oak Park. Divvy allows riders to get quickly from Point A to Point B, and is intended for short trips within Evanston or across Divvy's network of more than 580 Chicagoland stations. With 100 Bikes at 10 Stations, Evanston Joins Divvy's Regional Transportation System Connecting Chicago, Evanston and Oak Park DivvyEvanston_Social_IMG_150px.jpg The week of June 27, Divvy Bike Share will officially roll into Evanston, with 100 Divvy bikes and 10 bike share stations being installed in locations strategically chosen to provide residents, visitors and students with an additional two-wheeled transportation option.
