Only 11 percent of Chicagoland residents ride transit to work.

Planned Divvy expansion will connect north, south and west sides

Good news continues to roll in when it comes to Divvy, Chicago’s wildly successful bike share program. During its first year of operations, Divvy announced plans to increase the number of its docking stations in Chicago to 475 from 300. Throughout the summer, Divvy has been revealing proposed locations for the new docking stations.

The planned expansion will bring Divvy to many neighborhoods that were previously disconnected from the network. The expansion will extend Divvy south to the South Shore neighborhood, north to Rogers Park and West Ridge and west to Avondale, Irving Park, Albany Park and Humboldt Park.

We’re glad that so many neighborhoods will soon have easy access to Divvy and the freedom that the program offers.
