Activate Alliance was excited to unveil the Alliance Community Bike share program to residents on Monday. The committee is working to keep all physical activity options accessible for a variety of ages and abilities and is excited to kick off a community bike share program at no charge to users.
Gently used bikes have been tuned-up, painted bright green, and will each have a reflective sticker indicating it’s part of the Alliance Community Bike program. They will be available at participating locations around the community.
Committee members have been excited to bring this to fruition, donating countless volunteer hours, and even personally financially donating because they believe in the cause. If you are interested in donating a bike, volunteering to maintain bikes, or being involved in planning, the Alliance Community Bike subcommittee meetings regularly outside of the monthly Activate Alliance committee that meets virtually on the third Thursday of each month at 9 a.m.
The committee has been excited to see a number of successes including crosswalk beautification, signage upgrades, walk audits, and various communications.
Activate Alliance is comprised of school, community residents, hospital, city, law enforcement, public transit, senior services, community center, and public health. Their goal is to make Alliance a safer place to walk, bike, and roll and are funded in part through the Box Butte Health Foundation.
