   Info from Finlay Scanlon, DOT Outreach Coordinator | Bike Share + Shared Mobility:

   To encourage ridership in the most recent expansion area, Lyft (the operator of Citi bike) offers a 40% discount for new annual members, as well as other discounts for existing members and NYCHA residents/SNAP recipients.

   
   

   The deadline to register is December 31, 2023. I’ve attached a flyer you can share that include information about the discount and how to enroll. If you need additional translations, don’t hesitate to ask.

   
   

   An image of the brochure with info about the discounts is below.
