Meeting_Body EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE NOVEMBER 21, 2019 Subject SUBJECT: METRO BIKE SHARE PROGRAM UPDATE Action ACTION: RECEIVE AND FILE Heading RECOMMENDATION Title RECEIVE AND FILE report on Metro Bike Share Program Update. Issue ISSUE The Metro Bike Share program ("MBS") was launched in July 2016. The micro-mobility market is constantly evolving, and Metro needs to continue to assess its bike share program in relation to the goals of the program and the market changes.
