RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — RVA Bike Share may be returning to the city under a new contract after the program was shut down in May of this year.
RVA Bike Share is an e-bike sharing program that included 22 bike share stations from Battery Park to the Broad Rock Sports Complex, but mostly operated in the downtown area.
In a press release from May of 2023, the City of Richmond said the former contractor, Begwegen Technologies, gave only two days of notice before shutting down the stations.
Wegoshare — an IT company — has announced that it has signed a contract with the City of Richmond to provide IT solutions that power the e-bikes.
Although operations outside of IT, such as maintenance and a call center, have not been determined in the agreement, the contract is is set to last for one year.
There is not yet a date for the official launch of the program.
