The city’s bike share system, operated by BCycle, could stop operating if the city doesn’t find a new source of funding.

Nashville could end its bike share system after the city’s Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure failed to renew its contract with BCycle, its current bike share operator.
As Sophia Radebaugh explains in an article for WKRN, the city cited a loss of federal grants as a reason for the change. “The company has 200 bikes spread across Nashville, but now with no contract, they’ll lose financial support from the city.” BCycle plans to continue operating for now, but will require additional funding to keep the program going.
According to a press release from NDOT, “Metro will be issuing a new procurement in the coming weeks. This program remains a priority for NDOT and metro Nashville as we look to expand access to multimodal transportation across the city.”
