The new Velib bikesharing program in Paris has been so successful that Portland OR is putting out a RFP (Request for Proposals) to get a similar thing going there:
The RFP description says Portland wants to,
“Evaluate the possibility of hiring a Contractor to operate a public bicycle rental service…The City is seeking proposals from firms, teams or contractors interested in the delivery and operation of a bicycle fleet for rent to the general public and stationed in the public right of way to further promote the City’s use of a multi-modal public transportation system with a focus on the City’s core area.”
New York is pushing for something similar too.
How about Toronto?
