Bike programs expanding in D.C., Arlington

Published



The District Department of Transportation on Wednesday released the locations of 32 new Capital Bikeshare’s stations to be installed in the fall, part of the program’s first major expansion since the program began in September. “We’re very happy with the success of the program,” said District Department of Transportation Public Information Officer John Lisle, adding that he believes it to be the largest in the nation. “We’re very excited to expand to meet demand and to reach new members who haven’t tried it out yet.”

The project would add 265 new bikes to the overall system and expand 18 already existing stations, which entails adding more bikes or empty docks for bikes in order to better meet demand.
