MoGo has been operating in Detroit for more than a year.
Planned for Spring 2019, the expansion will add approximately 30 new stations to MoGo’s current system, along with nearly 150 additional bikes.
“People’s transportation needs don’t stop at city borders,” said Lisa Nuszkowski, founder and executive director, MoGo. “Expansion of bike share sends an important message about our ability to work together to solve transportation challenges in the region while providing people with an affordable and convenient way to get where they need to go.”
“MoGo is a low-cost, reliable transportation option for Metro Detroit residents, and we are excited to welcome MoGo’s service to Ferndale and others who have shown interest in the system,” said Justin Lyons, Planning Manager, City of Ferndale. “With this expansion, more people can count on riding a bike year-round for trips to work, school or recreational purposes.”
Specific station locations have not yet been determined. MoGo will work closely with each participating community to identify potential locations and secure necessary permits and approvals.
