Citi Bike Equity Initiatives: As part of its agreement with New York City, Lyft has also continued to expand Citi Bike's transportation equity efforts, including the Reduced Fare Bike Share program, presented by Healthfirst. There are now more than 3,300 New Yorkers who live in NYCHA developments or receive SNAP benefits who take advantage of a discounted Citi Bike membership for only $5 a month -- a 55% increase in enrollment in only one year. 

“Since 2015, we’ve worked side by side with Citi Bike, DOT, DOHMH and other stakeholders to build a culture of bikeshare in Central Brooklyn and beyond, and we are extremely proud of our partnership and the growth we have achieved,” said Tracey Capers, Chief Program Officer at the Bedford-Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation and a leader of the NYC Better Bike Share Partnership. “We can bring our work to the next level with this new community grant, and Bed-Stuy Restoration can continue to serve as a leader and model for community engagement and empowerment with Citi Bike.”
