City Council

$4 million to fuel the next phase of Pittsburgh’s bike share expansion.

POGOH, the city's bike share program, has 60 stations, mostly in the East End and North Side. Now, council has advanced a $4 million agreement with the state to add 40 stations and over 400 bikes. A federal grant covers $3.2 million of the cost. Still, locations for the new stations haven't been released to the public.
