Roam New River Valley (Hobby / Recreation)
Biography:
Roam NRV Bike Share program is a partnership of the Town of Blacksburg, the Town of Christiansburg, Montgomery County and Virginia Tech. The program is operated by the Gotcha Group under a contract managed by Blacksburg Transit. Gotcha has teamed with the Bike Barn of Blacksburg for maintenance and support, and Social Bikes/SoBi for technology.
Roam NRV, operated by Gotcha and administered by Blacksburg Transit, will begin with 12 hubs and 75 bikes distributed across the towns, and university campus. The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation is supporting the program with start-up funding of $200,000, along with $50,000 in matching funds from the local participating partners. It is anticipated that ongoing operational costs will come from a combination of grant funds, local funds from the partners, bike share memberships and sponsorships.
A Bike Share Advisory Committee was established by the New River Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization. Technical assistance is being provided by staff of the MPO and the New River Valley Regional Commission.
