SUMMARY
The City has been awarded funding from the California Air Resource Board’s (CARB) Clean Mobility in Schools (CMIS) and Sustainable Transportation Equity Project (STEP) Grant Programs to implement Safe Routes and Active Transportation for Schools and Underserved Communities in Hayward (Project). A core component of this effort is Hayward Rides, a program to distribute free bicycles to residents, with an emphasis on high school students and low-income families identified through community-based organizations, or by using other available data, to promote safe, affordable active transportation. Following a competitive procurement process, staff recommends awarding a professional services agreement to Eden Youth and Family to support the Hayward Rides program.
The inaugural bike distribution event will be scheduled at a suitable City facility and coordinated with and through the City Manager’s office.
