“It was important to listen to the community and choose locations for growth where people are naturally gathering or visiting,” said Becky Tuttle, Community Development Director for Greater Wichita YMCA. “We spent a lot of time analyzing data and maps with experts to ensure this growth and the new locations would benefit our residents and our visitors. College Hill, WSU and tourist spots were a few natural choices for growth.”

“Bike Share ICT has had a tremendous impact on the bike and pedestrian culture of our city,” said Wichita Mayor Jeff Longwell. “I love seeing more and more people riding bikes, and I hope the success of this program will continue to spread the love for biking in our community.”

Along with the donation from BCBSKS this spring, the Wichita Community Foundation provided additional funding for growth and development.
