Canada’s Capital Region - The National Capital Commission (NCC), la Ville de Gatineau and the City of Ottawa would like to thank the public that participated and provided comments on the Bike Share system demonstration program this past summer. Four Bike Share Stations with a total of (50) fifty bikes were set up in downtown Gatineau and Ottawa to obtain data for a feasibility study of a larger, permanent service offering.
“We are eagerly anticipating the findings of the feasibility study which will allow us to evaluate whether a broader service can be offered in the Region on a permanent basis,” said Marie Lemay, Chief Executive Officer of the NCC. “A viable and well used bike share system would provide a healthier and greener means of transportation for residents and visitors to Canada’s Capital Region.”
