On Sunday, April 10th, Union launched it’s first-ever bike share, joining the ranks of places like New York, Hoboken, and Jersey City.
"Our new initiative will provide our community with much-needed multi-modal transportation options that will reduce congestion and emissions while encouraging active and healthy lifestyles," stated Mayor Manuel Figueiredo. "This "docked" bike-share program with a fleet of 60 bikes will have stations located throughout the Township."
"The Union Bike Share will provide on-demand access to high-quality bikes," stated Koloni representative and founder Kyle Sheker. "Renting a bike is easy with Koloni's intuitive software."
Township visitors and residents will be able to rent a bike by downloading the Koloni app, either through Apple Store or Google Play, by scanning the QR code found on the bikes. The system will offer a low-cost model for completing short trips by bicycle as well as a monthly pass, a semester pass (for local students/faculty members) or an annual membership pass for those customers who prefer unlimited trips.
Current Bike dock locations are;
- Anthony Russo Park
- Volunteer Park
- Union Train Station
- Lightning Brook County Park
- Joe Collins Park
- Biertuempfel Park
- Weber Park
- Corner of Lorraine Ave & Morris Ave
- Corner of Tucker Ave & Frances Ct
