A grant-funded collaboration created to build equitable and replicable shared micromobility systems.
About us
The Better Bike Share Partnership is a collaboration funded by The JPB Foundation to increase access to and use of shared micromobility systems in low-income and BIPOC communities. The partners include The City of Philadelphia, the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) and PeopleForBikes. Initially funded in 2014 for a three-year period, The JPB Foundation renewed funding in 2017 for an additional two years and supported a bridge grant of one year in 2019 to move the program from Philadelphia to PeopleForBikes. In 2020 and again in 2023, funding was renewed for an additional three years! The initial Better Bike Share Partnership work focused on understanding the barriers to the use of bike share in low-income and communities of color, developing and disseminating strategies to address those barriers, collecting data to assess change, and working to institutionalize successful approaches. BBSP continues to share the stories of those working to increase equity in shared micromobility, disseminate ideas, strategies, and best practices from the field, and elevate the voices of those who have been traditionally underrepresented in transportation decision-making.

Meet Roshin Kurian, November's #workforcediversitywednesday feature! Roshin (she/her) works with the Portland Bureau of Transportation and the BIKETOWN bikeshare system. She says that her lived experience as a bike-loving, woman of color who grew up with limited means makes this work personal and important and reminds her that she gets to be a voice for those who get left out of the conversation. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gXmu8r6P
