BIKETOWN for All

BIKETOWN and The Street Trust advance transportation justice through new partnership

Do you have a free BIKETOWN for All membership? It’s a lifeline for many income-qualifying Portlanders, made possible by the Portland Bureau of Transportation with support from the PGE Drive Change Fund.

It’s also one of the ways that BIKETOWN promotes transportation justice – by offering reliable, equitable transportation for income-qualifying Portland residents, while reducing car traffic and supporting cleaner air in frontline communities.

Lyft, operator of BIKETOWN, in a new partnership with The Street Trust, is aiming to introduce more residents to bikeshare through the BIKETOWN for All program, especially those who might not think of themselves as a “typical” cyclist – in terms of age, race, or income.

Starting this summer, The Street Trust, with support from Lyft, will be working across a range of communities including BIPOC Portlanders, folks living on a low income, youth, and older adults to educate and empower them to ride e-bikes and enroll them in the BIKETOWN for All program when eligible.

"Innovative partnerships to advance a more just transportation system are at the heart of The Street Trust's work. We've worked with BIKETOWN for years to encourage Portlanders to embrace this healthy, low-carbon and fun mode of transportation, and are excited to take our partnership to the next level this summer working directly with BIKETOWN in the community advancing transportation justice." - Anouksha Gardner, The Street Trust

The Street Trust plans to host events and rides across the city including Gateway, Jade District, Lloyd District, East Portland/122nd Ave, Rosewood, and Central Eastside among others.
