As part of Project MOVER, SMI's Shane Paul and Alex Maccallini recently spent a day in Ossining, NY with League of American Cyclists Instructors, and participants from Hudson Link, an organization that supports people through education and community-based programs.

Leon and Kareem, League Cycling Instructors trained through Project MOVER, led a hands-on training for the project’s Community E-bike Program. The program gives Hudson Link participants access to e-bikes for everyday transportation.

The group practiced riding the cargo e-bikes, completed bike safety checks, and reviewed the program guidelines and safe riding practices. The training gave participants a chance to get comfortable with the bikes and ask questions before using them on their own.

Thanks to Leon, Kareem, Hudson Link, and our partners at Nelson\Nygaard for making the training possible!

Transportation innovation matters, especially when research is paired with real world implementation.

Shared Mobility Inc. was proud to attend University at Buffalo’s Transportation Innovation and Impact Day, hosted by the UBuffalo Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, and celebrate three new transportation research facilities.

It was exciting to see UB’s work firsthand, including autonomous vehicles, bicycle and driving simulators, and other technologies focused on safer, smarter, and more sustainable transportation.

It was also great to connect with partners and transportation leaders from The City of Buffalo, Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, and other organizations working to improve mobility across our region.

Partnerships between UB and organizations like ours help move new technologies from research into practical community solutions. With nearly two decades of experience implementing innovative and equitable mobility programs, we’re excited about what we can build together here in Western New York.

E-bike safety education is a cornerstone of Shared Mobility Inc.'s work, woven throughout our programs to ensure riders have the knowledge and confidence to ride safely.

Yesterday, Steve Bratspis of our CDPHP Cycle Team represented SMI at the Walk, Bike & Roll New York Symposium in Tarrytown, NY, where he presented on our approach to e-bike safety education. Drawing from lessons learned across our e-bike rebate initiatives, bikeshare systems, and other mobility programs, Steve highlighted the importance of pairing access to e-bikes with comprehensive safety education to support safe and successful adoption.

Thank you to New York Bicycling Coalition for inviting us to speak, and thank you to the organizers for bringing together transportation professionals, advocates, and community leaders committed to advancing active transportation across New York.

Congratulations to CDPHP Cycle for celebrating their 10th bikeshare season in the Capital District! 🎉

Thanks to Capital District Transportation Authority - CDTA, we're excited for another strong season of bikeshare. 🚲

The weather is giving summer feels, so we gathered most of the staff earlier this week for a short bike ride to Buffalo City Hall's Observation Deck and then headed to Rosie's Handcrafted Ice Cream on West Utica Street for a sweet treat! 🍧 But not before paying a visit to GObike's founder and newly appointed Parking Commissioner Justin Booth! With bikeshare, less planning is needed for warm-weather skits like these!

Check out our organization's Project Manager Alex Maccallini’s latest blog exploring the benefits and challenges of expanding adaptive bike access and how adaptive bicycles can help create a more inclusive future for mobility.
