Kingston survey mulls bike- and scooter-sharing programs

The city announced on Monday that it will study the feasibility of several clean mobility options.

Mayor Steve Noble’s office said the options could include a bike/scooter share, bike library, EV rideshare and other programs.

The city said it was awarded $100,000 by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to explore implementing “a zero-emission city-wide transportation program” for residents and visitors.

Noble’s office said the city has launched a public survey informing planning for new transportation options in the city. Officials emphasized that community input is essential as the city and its partners explore various options, including bike-share and scooter-share programs, bike libraries, electric shuttles, and programs that support bike and scooter ownership.

Officials said the city will work with New York City-based WXY on the study.

“Part of what makes this project meaningful is the chance to build something with Kingston that’s zero-emission and genuinely grounded in how people live,” Adam Lubinsky, principal at WXY Studio said in a prepared statement. “Clean mobility has to work for real routines, real streets, and real needs. This study gives us the space to start with questions and shape a program that reflects the city’s priorities.”

Lubinsky said this will also present an opportunity to create a new model for local micromobility that other cities can learn from.

The study will be informed by the city’s Pedestrian & Bicycle Master Plan.

NYSERDA announced in March that it awarded $2.9 million towards 29 community-led projects to enhance planning for shared electric transportation solutions in New York.
