Common use of Project Description and Purpose Clause in Contracts

Project Description and Purpose. The Project will deploy bike share bicycles at stations along rail and transit lines, and other areas of dense population or employment, and other key destinations in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Holyoke. Its objective is to pilot low-emissions bike-sharing strategically in downtown urban centers of varying sizes and population densities in close proximity to transit services located in Priority Development Areas (PDA), or Transit Oriented Development (▇▇▇) Areas, or other areas with high potential for use. This Project will demonstrate and test the potential to effectively reduce single-occupancy vehicle travel to transit stops by offering bicycles as a first- and last-mile transportation alternative, thereby reducing vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions and improving local air quality. It will also work to expand the viability of bicycling as a stand-alone mode of travel. The Project will provide bicycles for use by program members (e.g. memberships may be daily, weekly, and annually) from unattended stations, incentivizing short-term use (e.g. 30 minutes). The bicycles will be tamper and vandalism proof and will employ radio-frequency identification smartcards and wireless and internet technologies to coordinate and track bicycle reservations, pick-up, drop-off, and subscriber information. This advanced technology system will track user demand and provide a mechanism to maintain a balanced distribution of bikes within each host community, and the desirable number of bikes and spare parking within each station.
