Multi Modal Committee Meeting - June 24, 2026

The Albany County Legislature's Multi Modal Committee meeting on June 24, 2026, featured a detailed presentation by the Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA) on their regional bike share program, CDPHP Cycle, which has been operating for 10 years. The discussion focused on the program's geographic coverage, operational logistics, membership plans, and community engagement efforts. CDTA representatives highlighted the program's expansion goals, including potential new service areas like the town of Colonie, and equity initiatives such as discounted memberships for low-income residents through partnerships with housing authorities. Financial aspects were addressed, noting that municipalities typically pay modest annual fees (e.g., $2,500 for Bethlehem) to host bikes, with CDTA managing maintenance and operations. Safety and helmet usage were also discussed, with CDTA promoting helmet distribution and education but not requiring helmets by policy. No formal votes or motions related to procurement or budget allocations were recorded during this meeting.
