Capital Corridor Community Bike Share

The Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission (CVRPC) is requesting proposals for a scoping study to identify alternatives, issues, and costs related to the design and planning of a community-operated micromobility service (bikeshare and potential scooter share) in the Capital Corridor area. The study should estimate the startup cost for a community bike-share and provide recommendations for implementation, including the identification of potential sponsors and institutional partners. The project will involve close collaboration between consultants, steering groups, and community representatives. • The scoping study will include a design and planning process for a community bikeshare within a defined service area. • The study will identify and prioritize technologies and processes, evaluate potential station locations, and assess historic, archaeological, and environmental impacts. • The consultant will develop a project timeline, including a deployment strategy with recommendations for station site priority based on expected use volumes. • The consultant will provide a draft and final report outlining the findings of the study, including a recommended format for the final scoping report.
