The City of Monterey is considering a bicycle sharing program. Bicycle sharing would connect people to entertainment, employment, academic and military institutions, and other local public transit. If you are a resident of Monterey, please take this 10-question survey to let the City of Monterey know what type of bicycle sharing program might best serve our city.

What is bicycle sharing? Bicycle sharing provides a network of bicycles available at self-serve kiosks around the city. Users are able to access the bicycles with the use of a card and purchasing a daily, weekly, monthly, or annual membership. Most existing systems allow users to make as many trips as often as they like without additional charge provided they return the bicycles to a kiosk within 30 to 60 minutes (small graduated fees are incurred for keeping a bike beyond the time limit). Users can pick up a bicycle at any self-serve kiosk and return it to any other kiosk located within the system's service area. Kiosks are situated at key locations and provide a cost-effective mobility option for trips too far to walk but too costly to make by taxi or private vehicle.
