About the Los Angeles Better Bike Share Partnership Living Lab Coalition:
Metro has a plan to make it easier to get around, including filling the gap between Metro Bike Share’s Downtown/Central LA and Westside service areas. This expansion project will ensure continuous service coverage and provide additional connectivity between Metro bus and rail services like the D, E, and K lines.
Our program partners are planning activities to build excitement for the expansion. Rides, workshops and engaging activities that include giveaways, Bike Share passes and more!
Committed to the equitable expansion of Metro Bike Share (MBS), the Los Angeles Living Lab Coalition, funded by the Better Bike Share Partnership (BBSP), includes BikeLA, Los Angeles Walks, Walk ‘n Rollers, CicLAvia, and Metro. The coalition partners will work together to inform this expansion effort, with the goal of fostering excitement for Metro Bike Share in diverse communities across Los Angeles.
