Lindsey West is the president of Bantam Strategy Group, the program’s
operating company. She says officials agree the eventual program will have
solar-powered bicycles with a Bluetooth connection to help riders navigate.
West says plans call for more than 200 of bikes in the downtown area and
subsidized memberships for lower-income riders. Members will access the bikes using a mobile app, a personalized key code or a membership card.
West says the cost of membership is typically $75 per year, but a subsidized membership could cost $15.
