“Our expansion of the Metro Bike Share Program into Hollywood will make it easier for Angelenos and visitors to reach popular destinations by bike. This action is a strong example of our continued commitment to expand clean transportation options and improve our air quality by reducing auto trips throughout the county,” said Metro Board Chair and Chair of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Hilda Solis.
Metro CEO Stephanie Wiggins added, “The combination of transit and bike share can help everyone better access local destinations and help reduce auto trips in our county.”
With the goal of reducing emissions and limiting auto rides, Metro Bike Share has provided locals and visitors access to over 1.3 million trips, totaling over 4.3 million miles of travel.
