Docked Bike Share Feasibility Study
Project Overview
The City of Golden Planning Department, in collaboration with the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG), is launching a study to evaluate the feasibility of a docked, solar-charging bike share program in the City of Golden.
A bike share program makes bicycles available for short-term use within the community, allowing people to pick up and return bikes at designated docking stations. For this study, “bike share” refers specifically to a docked system using electric-assist bicycles (e-bikes).
The study will explore how a docked bike share system could enhance everyday travel in Golden by expanding mobility options, reducing reliance on cars, and improving access to key destinations. It will also identify the operational, infrastructure, and management considerations needed to successfully implement and manage a docked, solar-charging e-bike share program. The study is expected to be finalized in December 2026.
This study is funded through DRCOG’s Innovative Mobility Set-Aside program.
