Rockville Awarded Grant to Bring Bikeshare Stations to Twinbrook

Rockville, Maryland, Nov. 3 – Two new bikeshare stations are coming to Twinbrook after the state Department of Transportation this week announced a $100,000 grant award to the City of Rockville.
The grant, and a partnership with the Montgomery County Department of Transportation and The JBG Companies, a significant developer in Twinbrook, will allow the city to meet community demand and expand its participation in the Capital Bikeshare program, which offers bicycle rentals at stations across the Washington metropolitan area. The new stations will include 15 bicycle docks each and are planned for the west side of the Twinbrook Metro station, near the Kiss & Ride lot, and at the intersection of Congressional Lane and East Jefferson Street. The stations are expected to open in summer 2018. They will be the 14th and 15th stations within the city limits of Rockville, which launched its participation in Capital Bikeshare in October 2013.
