Question:

What are the potential funding streams that can be utilized to extend the Arlandria Bikeshare Partnership pilot program across the City? (Mayor Wilson)

Response:

The Arlandria Bikeshare Partnership is a pilot, grant-funded program coordinated by the Four Mile Run Conservatory Foundation, Alexandria’s Bike & Pedestrian Advisory Committee and Casa Chirilagua. The program seeks to introduce and promote the use of the Capital Bikeshare (CaBi) system to adults in the Arlandria neighborhood. The program is coordinated with the CaBi Community Partners Program. In the future, similar to already established CaBi Community Partner Programs, the Arlandria Bikeshare Partnership intends to enable local non-profits and social service organizations to offer their clients a steeply discounted CaBi Annual Membership, safety equipment and guidance on safe bicycling.

Potential funding streams that could be utilized to extend the Arlandria Bikeshare Partnership pilot across the City would include additional General Fund money, Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) funds, NVTA 30% funds, potential new grant opportunities, or revenues from Transportation Management Program (TMP) contributions, after considering geographic limitations of specific TMPs. The City could also seek private partnerships to extend the program. It should be noted that existing sources such as TIP and NVTA have already been planned for future use and would need to be reprioritized from other planned uses.
