The article discusses the existing (smaller) bike share program on Riverparks:
Tulsa already has a bike-share program along Riverside Drive called Tulsa Townies. That program isn’t going away, Sperle said, but will likely move to another location once Tulsa Bike Share is established at the Gathering Place and along other parts of Riverside Drive.
“We have a great relationship with them,” Sperle said. “They are going to continue to operate there until we are ready to take over the River Park trails.”
Tulsa Bike Share operates under St. Francis Tulsa Tough’s nonprofit status. The bike-share program is funded through public and private donations and run by a 14-member board.
It has raised approximately $1.65 million, including $750,000 from a federal grant and $250,000 from the city’s Improve Our Tulsa sales-tax package. The remaining funding has come from private donors.
