Area bike share program in motion

Following a brief hiatus over the winter, the SusqueCycle bike share program is operating again with six locations around downtown and midtown Harrisburg. With plans to expand by this summer, SusqueCycle will soon have twice as many bikes and six more locations - the Federal Courthouse/Bethesda Mission, the Midtown State Office Complex, the TransitPark lot off Market Street, Tri-County Community Action at 1514 Derry St., Paxtang Borough at the Greenbelt, and the square in Hummelstown Borough.

Launched with a test run over several weeks in fall 2022, SusqueCycle had 36 bikes and six bike racks at the same locations that are available now: Market Square, Strawberry Square, the Amtrak station, Broad Street Market, City Island, and State Street. Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (TCRPC) operates the bike share program.

Powered by Tandem Mobility, SusqueCycle uses the Movatic app. Pay-as-you-go pricing is available for a set fee per 30 minutes, and there is an annual membership option for unlimited 30-minute trips. SusqueCycle memberships can also be used with the Hershey Bikes and Bike It Lancaster programs and will be available in York when that program is launched.

In addition to TCRPC, the program's prime sponsors are the Harrisburg Area Transportation Study and the UMPC Pinnacle Foundation. Additional sponsors are being sought for 2023. For more information on SusqueCycle, visit http://www.susquecycle.org.
