Saratoga Springs will be hosting a one-week trial bikeshare in partnership with the Capital District Transportation Committee (CDTC) from Wednesday, July 30-Tuesday, August 5. As bike share programs grow in popularity across the US and beyond, this is an opportunity for Saratoga Springs to try out a program that is believed to increase choices for transportation, promote public health, and contribute to a higher quality of life and the economy.
Bikes will be available free of charge from 10am-8pm during the week at:
• Broadway/ Division in front of the Downtowner- Main location (first time registration required here). Helmets will also be offered to each rider courtesy of Bikeatoga.
• Beekman Street
• Gideon Putnam within Saratoga Spa State Park

For more information and to pre-register for a bike, please see:

Capital Region Bikeshare Month runs from July 10th to August 15th 2014. Bikeshare Month will be one “Bikeshare Week” of short-term bikeshare pilots in each of the Cities of Albany, Saratoga Springs, Schenectady, and Troy.

Hi friends! Sign this petition to help make walking and biking a priority in New York State in 2014. Sign this postcard to the Governor by January 6th requesting $20 million in the 2014-15 state budget specifically dedicated to funding pedestrian and bicycling infrastructure projects, with a minimum additional commitment of $20 million annually over the next five years, and Revision of NYSDOT's Preservation First policy so that it does not exclude new pedestrian and bicycling infrastructure projects and is consistentwith the intent of the state's Complete Streets law.

Saratoga Springs has a new ordinance in place to protect the environment. As YNN's Erin Moran reports, the initiative was led by a group of local college students who urged city officials to make the change.
