Public Education Meetings Scheduled on Bikeshare Program Coming to County

The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) will host three public meetings in June on the extension of the Capital Bikeshare program into Montgomery County. Bikesharing allows travelers to rent a bike from on-street stations and drop it off at other stations within the bikeshare network.

The following meetings will focus on selected urban centers of Montgomery County where bikesharing stations will be installed in late summer 2013. However, information on bikesharing throughout the County will be available at each meeting. All meetings will be held from 7 to 9 p.m.
  • Bikeshare in Bethesda and Friendship Heights: June 24
    Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center, 4805 Edgemoor La., 2nd Floor 
  • Bikeshare in Silver Spring and Takoma Park: June 25
    Fire Station 1, 8110 Georgia Avenue, 3rd Floor, Silver Spring; and
  • Bikeshare in Rockville, Shady Grove and the Life Sciences Center: June 26 Executive Office Building Lobby Auditorium, 101 Monroe St., Rockville.
