Bike sharing program coming to Savannah | savannahnow.com

Savannah will be joining the growing list of cities around the country with bike share programs in the coming weeks.

Chatham Area Transit is preparing to roll out a pilot bike share program to begin in conjuction with the completion of renovation work to the downtown transit center on Oglethorpe Avene in September.

A bike dock/station that can hold up to eight bicycles is to be housed at the transit center. Customers will be able to rent a bicycle short-term through a solar-powered kiosk, Ramond Robinson, CAT’s chief development officer, told CAT board members this week.

The bicycles themselves will be three-speed without chains and individually equipped with GPS tracking devices.
