Enjoyed being in Petaluma for the official ribbon cutting for the Redwood Bikeshare System. In collaboration with the Sonoma County Transportation Authority, Regional Climate Protection Authority (SCTA/RCPA), the Transportation Authority of Marin, the Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART), and the Golden Gate Ferry, this system brings together two counties (Sonoma & Marin) and 7 cities (Cotati, Larkspur, Novato, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, San Rafael, & Santa Rosa). It has been a pleasure working with our partners and all the talented professionals in each city to bring this project to life. Loved coming across the chalk message from an unknown fan of the new transportation option! #bikeshare, #micromobility, #decarbonization
