Mayor Eric Adams emphasized the significance of the Citi Bike expansion, stating, 'This Citi Bike expansion is the latest way we're making it easier and more affordable to get around New York City, particularly for low-income New Yorkers. People in Brownsville and other low-income neighborhoods deserve Citi Bike access as much as any other New Yorker, and this expansion brings us closer to ensuring just that.'
City Hall announced that the expansion will introduce 250 new docking stations and 2,900 additional bikes, roughly half of which will be electric, significantly increasing the accessibility of the service.
The plan aims to enhance Citi Bike's reach, bringing access to an additional 900,000 residents, allowing 64% of city residents to live within a five-minute walk of a station after completion.
The city intends to relieve congestion at popular docking stations in Midtown Manhattan, Downtown Brooklyn, and Williamsburg by providing more location options through this expansion.
