The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) hosted three public meetings in June on the extension of the Capital Bikeshare program into Montgomery County. Bikesharing allows travelers to rent a bike from on-street stations and drop it off at other stations within the bikeshare network.

The following meetings focused on selected urban centers of Montgomery County where bikesharing stations will be installed in late summer 2013. However, information on bikesharing throughout the County was also available at each meeting. 

• Bikeshare in Bethesda and Friendship Heights: June 24, Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center, 4805 Edgemoor La., 2nd Floor 

• Bikeshare in Silver Spring and Takoma Park: June 25, Fire Station 1, 8110 Georgia Avenue, 3rd Floor, Silver Spring; and

• Bikeshare in Rockville, Shady Grove and the Life Sciences Center: June 26, Executive Office Building Lobby Auditorium, 101 Monroe St., Rockville.
