EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) staff is planning to recommend funding for the City of Alameda (City) to introduce a bike share pilot program on the West End of Alameda as part of the Transportation Management Plan (TMP) for the Oakland Alameda Access Project (OAAP). The primary goal of the bike share pilot is to provide first- and last-mile transportation options across the Oakland Estuary between the Oakland Alameda Water Shuttle and San Franscisco Bay Ferry to destinations in West Alameda during OAAP construction in the Posey Tube. The three-year pilot program (2027-2029) would also support Alameda's participation in the regional Bay Wheels bike share system, starting with eight bike share docking stations and 53 e-bikes in West Alameda. Based on this pilot, the City can explore options to expand bike share citywide in future years.
Staff recommends that City Council endorse the program concept for a three-year bike share pilot in West Alameda and authorize the Interim City Manager or Designee to execute all necessary agreements to accept funding from Alameda CTC and execute a three-year agreement with Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and Lyft similar to the terms of the Daly City agreement (Exhibit 2) to begin participation in the regional Bay Wheels program.
