In collaboration with Houston Bike Share, the Texas Medical Center contributed $250,000 to add more than 12 new stations to the campus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Texas Medical Center is the size of a city, and any city needs to have multiple transportation options,\u201d said Abbey Roberson, TMC\u2019s vice president of planning. \u201cThese new stations provide members of our community with another way to travel to and within this expanding medical city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Users can rent a bicycle from any station and return it to any other station in the network (see map below). One-time users pay $3 for 30 minutes of use, but members can pay $9 per month or $99 per year to use the bikes. \u201cWe are thrilled about Houston BCycle expanding into the Texas Medical Center,\u201d said Beth Martin, executive director of Houston Bike Share, the nonprofit organization that operates the BCycle bike share program.<\/p>\n<p>Houston BCycle debuted in May 2012 with a downtown pilot that consisted of three stations. Currently, the system has more than 80 stations and nearly 500 bikes in Houston, and it\u2019s expanding. Martin said the new stations should be useful for students and employees traveling within the TMC campus. Since the stations are near METRO stops, they\u2019ll provide connections to the whole city, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Adding BCycle stations to the TMC campus is also a way to encourage healthy travel options. \u201cWe are grateful for this partnership with TMC and honored to play an ongoing role in the transformation of TMC\u2019s transit landscape to improve mobility,\u201d Martin said.<\/p>\n<p><em>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houstonbcycle.com\">houstonBCycle.com<\/a> for a full station map and to sign up for a membership.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-46204 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tmc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-11-28-at-12.23.36-PM-e1543429461695.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"681\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The familiar red bicycles you\u2019ve seen all over town have shown up in the Texas Medical Center.
