Revised Petition: CaBi’s Price Plan Risks Undermining Growth and Burdening Vulnerable Riders

Hey everyone,

After a deeper dive into Bikeshare’s challenges, I’ve revised the petition to reflect a more nuanced position. The proposed price increases aren’t discriminatory in intent—but they risk destabilizing the system by overburdening vulnerable riders and shrinking ridership growth.

Yes, everyone should contribute something to maintain access. But pricing alone won’t fix hoarding, stranding, or rough usage. And unless fee increases remain minimal, we risk turning a mobility lifeline into a luxury.

The new petition lays out smarter fixes, including incentive maps and rider education. Please check it out, and join us for the virtual meeting on July 16 at 7pm ET to speak up for a system that works for all.
