## Key Discussion Notes

- May-June ridership exceeded forecast by 18%, with the highest demand near transit hubs, university housing, and riverfront employment areas.
- Eastvale requested additional docks near the medical campus due to repeated afternoon shortages.
- Northport raised concerns about bikes being unavailable at commuter rail stations before 8:00 AM.
- Metro Transit confirmed technical feasibility for linking bike-share discounts to monthly transit passes, but full account integration will not be ready before September.
- Accessibility representatives asked that all new station maps include sidewalk clearance checks and curb-ramp proximity.
- BikeShareCo reported that current staffing can support the first expansion phase but not the full regional rollout without two additional rebalancing vans.

## Decisions

- Proceed with Phase 1 expansion: 42 new stations and 310 additional bikes by September 15, 2026.
- Prioritize station locations within 400 meters of transit stops, major employers, campuses, and mixed-income housing.
- Launch a 50% bike-share discount for monthly transit pass holders as an interim solution starting August 1, 2026.
- Add e-bikes to no more than 35% of the total fleet during Phase 1 to monitor charging and maintenance needs.
- Require accessibility review sign-off before any station installation.
- Publish a shared regional performance dashboard with monthly ridership, availability, maintenance, and equity metrics.
