> PROVIDENCE, RI – Mayor Jorge O. Elorza, the Department of Planning and Development, and JUMP Bikes invite the community to four bike share program open house events to be held March 19-21. Bike share is a fun, affordable and convenient transportation option for short, one-way trips throughout the City. At these events residents will learn more about bike share, see an e-bike, and provide feedback on bike share station locations that would best serve their transportation needs.
> 
> The new bike share program, JUMP Bikes, will provide 400 publicly available electric-assist bicycles (e-bikes), conveniently located at more than 40 bike share hubs around the city.
> 
> Four bike share outreach events are planned as follows in Providence:
> 
> Monday, March 19, 12:00-2:00pm - Downtown Open House, 444 Westminster Street, First Floor
> Monday, March 19, 6:30-8:00pm - West Side Open House, West Broadway Neighborhood Association (WBNA), 1560 Westminster Street
> Tuesday March 20, 6:30-8:00pm - East Side Open House, Brown RISD Hillel, 80 Brown Street
> Wednesday, March 21, 6:30-8:00pm - South Side Open House, SWAP Community Room, 500 Broad Street

> Often recognized as one of the best midsized cities in the country, Providence’s vibrant culture, high density of jobs and residents, and strong college presence positions it to be a leader in bike share. Providence’s bike share program will complement the City’s efforts to promote environmentally-friendly modes of transportation and become carbon-neutral by the year 2050. JUMP Bikes will also promote healthy living, increase equitable access to jobs and destinations, and build greater connections between Providence’s diverse neighborhoods.
