Vermont Business Magazine The electric-assist Greenride Bikeshare system, operated by Bolt Mobility, in the cities of Burlington, South Burlington and Winooski is no longer in operation due to Bolt Mobility ceasing its business operations effective July 1.
CATMA (Chittenden Area Transportation Management Association), along with the cities of Burlington, South Burlington and Winooski, executed an agreement in May 2021 with Bolt to deploy 200 electric-assist bikes throughout these jurisdictions and on the medical/ academic campus district. In May 2022, an addendum to this agreement was executed to better respond to community priorities for an electric-bikeshare system and to update the timeline of the system expansion.
“Bikeshare is an important transportation option in our network that offers an equitable, affordable and sustainable mobility choice,” said Sandy Thibault, Executive Director at CATMA. “This is an unfortunate situation. However, CATMA and its regional partners are committed to exploring implementation of a new bikeshare system for our communities that is accessible to everyone.”
Burlington-Area Bike-Share Suspended as Vendor Goes Dark
CATMA and its institutional and municipal partners are in the process of navigating the removal of the bikeshare assets along with issuing communications to members and our community regarding membership and system status. If you notice any of the teal and black Greenride bikes outside of their hubs, please notify [email protected].
CATMA is a non-profit membership based organization that provides transportation strategies and solutions to improve commutes, support healthy lifestyles and reduce carbon emissions.
