After more than a decade of work, the Better Bike Share Partnership (BBSP) is winding down due to a lack of funding. However, the work it helped spark is far from finished. The ideas, partnerships, and practices it championed continue to shape more accessible and inclusive shared mobility systems across America.
Since 2014, BBSP has reshaped the shared micromobility field by increasing equitable access, strengthening community partnerships, and creating lasting systems change. Together with its partners and grantees, BBSP built the foundation for equity in shared micromobility. This work would not have been possible without the sustained partnership and support of the Freedom Together Foundation, whose investment helped communities across the country test new ideas, expand access, and strengthen shared mobility systems.
Through 125 grants across 59 U.S. cities, BBSP helped communities pilot ideas, launch programs, and demonstrate how shared mobility systems can better serve more people.
