Title

Support a countywide bike sharing plan and adopt Resolution 16-20.

Body

SUMMARY: 

The Pinellas County MPO’s (aka Forward Pinellas) Bike Share Feasibility Study evaluated the potential for a countywide bike share program and concluded that downtown St. Petersburg, downtown Clearwater, and the Gulf beaches were areas where bike sharing could be successful.  Forward Pinellas authorized staff to work with interested local governments to develop a bike sharing program that meets local transportation needs.  

Various members of city staff have worked with Forward Pinellas and other municipalities in developing the proposed resolution to support the development of a Countywide Bike Sharing Plan.  This resolution is worded to be universal across Pinellas County.

There are no costs associated with the resolution at this time and staff recommends approval of the resolution.
