Our Mission In Action
Develop an Inter-Municipal Bikeshare System
Bublr Bikes has over 100 stations in Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, and West Allis.
Ensure Station Density and Connection
Bublr Bikes will build a contiguous, inclusive network, expanding from central hubs into many neighborhoods. Bublr Stations are installed in locations based on the recommendations of neighborhood stakeholders.
Communicate Effectively with Customers
Bublr Bikes will provide simple, easy-to-understand instructions for all of our potential riders — residents, visitors, employees, etc. Bublr will provide English and Spanish content to connect with a variety of people and add other language options as the network expands.
Be Visible, Active, and Integrated
Bublr Bikes will engage with the city’s diverse neighborhoods and cyclist groups, relying on on-the-ground insight to build the Bublr network and user base. Bublr reflects Milwaukee’s diverse population through board participation, volunteer efforts, and ongoing bicycle mechanic internships for Milwaukee’s youth.
Create an Accessible System
Bublr Bikes is committed to creating a bike share system that is accessible to as many people as possible. A ride starts at $0.25 per minute. Subsidized and discounted passes are available to income-qualified individuals. Additionally, Bublr’s how-to videos are closed captioned, Bublr’s customer service line is equipped to receive text messages, and the Bublr website is compatible with screen reading software. Bublr’s bikes are also designed to be rideable by as many people as possible, with low, step-through frames and upright seating. Bublr also provides Adaptive Cycles for riders with disabilities. These bikes include Side by Side and Single Seat tricycles and Handcycles.
Build Encouragement and Engagement Programs
Bublr Bikes will develop programs — including pass giveaways, safety education, and community outreach — to encourage first-time riders to try Bublr. Bublr will customize programs to serve diverse audiences, recognizing the distinct barriers each audience may face when considering Bublr Bikes.
