Resolution 2011-025 Authorizing the Mayor to Enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the State of Colorado
Department of Transportation for the Purpose of Obtaining a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Grant in Support
of the FC Bike Library Program.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Fort Collins Bike Library Program (FCBL) has been awarded Congestion Mitigation &Air Quality grant funding
from the North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Colorado Department of Transportation for
work to be completed FY 2011. The City of Fort Collins contracts with Bike Fort Collins, a local non-profit cycling
organization, to manage and operate the FCBL. The FCBL program continues to improve, refine, and expand the
Bicycle Library program and services. These activities include improving marketing and operational practices.
Expansion includes incorporating additional bicycles and check-out stations into the FCBL program and incorporating
additional community partners such as schools, businesses, and non-profit organizations.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The Fort Collins Bike Library Program is similar to a regular City library, but instead of checking out books, a patron
checks out a bike. A customer interested in participating in the library can sign up at any FCBL station. To become
a member of the FCBL, a patron needs one form of identification, for example, a driver's license, state ID, passport,
or green card. A credit or check card is also necessary for deposit, but the cost to the FCBL patron to borrow a bicycle
is free. Special arrangements are made for those patrons who do not possess a credit or debit card. After the
member's information is recorded in the FCBL database,the patron signs a one-time insurance form. New members
are then able to check out a bike for as short as an hour or for as long as seven days at a time.
The bicycle comes fully equipped with bike lights, a lock, rack, and helmet. Some of the bicycles in the fleet are
designed for all weather riding. Should the bicycle encounter any mechanical difficulties beyond a flat tire, an
emergency phone number is provided to assist the FCBL member.
Since the inception of the FCBL in 2008,the program has received a great deal of local, regional, and national media
attention pertaining to the success of the program and its benefit to the Fort Collins community. This program
demonstrated its success by attracting nearly 8,000 Bike Library members and generating over 113,000 bicyclevehicle
miles traveled between April 2008 and January 2011. 1
2008 -2010 Accomplishments
• 201 operational bicycles are currently in the Bike Library fleet
• 7,944 members signed up with FCBL as January 2011
• A unique website has been created to track bicycles, members, vehicle miles traveled and to provide an
evaluation process
• City-owned space was donated to FCBL in order to conduct fleet maintenance, storage, and check-out. The
donated space constitutes part of the local "in kind" match in order to obtain the CMAQ grant.
• A downtown check out station (Caf6 Bicyclette) was donated by Downtown Development Authority. The
donated space also constitutes part of the local "in kind" match in order to obtain the CMAQ grant.
• Three check-out stations have been opened, as of January 2010: (1) Old Town Square (2) 222 LaPorte
Avenue and (3) Colorado State University (Lory Student Center).
• There has been close coordination with local participating stakeholders to ensure success of program
(Convention and Visitors Bureau, Downtown Development Authority, Colorado State University, and local
businesses).

program. These activities include improving marketing
and operational practices. Expansion includes adding
more bicycles to the FC Bike Library fleet and
incorporating more community partners in the way of
schools, businesses, and non-profit organizations.

throughout the year, etc.)
What are the key tasks of your project? • Create sustainable financial plan to continue on-
(Consider these measurements of progress—what are going program operations after 2011. The City of
the steps you'll be taking to implement your project?) Fort Collins and Bike Fort Collins organization
assumes this role.
• Expand the program to at least two additional
check-out stations in south Fort Collins, utilizing
local partners such as bike shops and other local
businesses. Each station will consist of 5-10 bikes
depending upon location and need.
• Incorporate the partnership between Bike Library
with the City's Safe Routes to School program and
the Poudre School District. The Bike Library will
lend children bicycles to Safe Routes to School
program to conduct bicycle education classes when
school is session. The City and its partners have
been scheduling bicycle education classes for
school age children; however, bicycles are usually
not available for the "hands on" portion of the
clinics. Lending the bicycles for the clinics would
fulfill this need. The bicycles and helmets will be
4of9
delivered to the school site for the clinic.
• Explore the development of two check-out stations
at two local hotels in Fort Collins (north and south
areas. Rationale: Visitors to Fort Collins could
check out a bicycle at respective hotels instead of
renting a car for transportation. There are currently
several passenger vehicles that make frequent runs
between DIA and Hilton and Marriot Hotels.
Bicycles available for use at the hotel will enable
visitors to travel Fort Collins by bicycle without
having to rent a car.
• Develop web-based program and logistics protocol
regarding reservation and group lending program
by working with IT employees with Bike Fort
Collins.
• Encourage at least three major employers (100
employees or more) to carry small fleets of bike
library bikes to be used by employees for errands.
The bicycles would be stored and utilized by
businesses. Check out sheet would record usage.
Climate Wise and Bike to Work Day partners are
encouraged to provide this service.
• Expand and develop CSU campus check out
station. There are currently 20 available bicycles.
The Bike Library will double this figure to provide
40 bicycles.
• Close coordination with local participating
stakeholders to ensure success of program:
(Convention and Visitors Bureau (provides bicycle
check in after Bike Library operating hours and
promotes the program); the Downtown
Development Authority (allows use of Old Town
check out location and contributes to local match);
Colorado State University allows the Bike Library
to exist on campus and provides check-out services,
and local businesses). The Bike Library is both
continuing current partnerships as well as fostering
new business relationships.
• Expand fleet of total bicycles to 300 bicycles City-
wide by end of 2011. Currently 210 bicycles are in
our inventory
• Increase check out stations from three to seven total
check-out stations City-wide (not including major
employer fleets).
• Promotion of bicycle safety education materials to
all FCBL members and participating partners
through development of Bike Library brochure and
tour recommendations. Produce bicycle safety
video for participants to view prior, or at the time
of bicycle check-out.
5of9
• Update FC Bike Library website to reflect 2008 &
2009 efforts (and 2010 when data is available) as
well as include all 2010 sponsors, stations, and
participating businesses.
• Deploy 300 bicycle through the Bike Library
program through small business fleets and check
out stations.

FC Bike Library Program Presentation and Discussion
The information was presented by Kathleen Bracke, DK Kemp and Jeff Morrell. A detailed
agenda item summary had been provided to the committee prior to the meeting. The contract
with the CDOT for the federal funding portion of the program will be considered for approval
at the February 16`h council meeting. Bracke explained the structure of the overall budget.
Kemp described the background, 2008-2009 accomplishments and 2010-2011 goals. Jeff
Morrell provided more detail on operation and user numbers and comments.
Questions and discussion at the end of the presentation by committee members included:
Gould asked if the new library lending sites use volunteers for operations. Kemp replied that
in the potential hotel or bike shop locations,existing employees on site would probably be
used.
Scutchan pointed out that there should be more Bike Library access and visibility in south
Fort Collins. Further discussion included the opportunity for a bike library anchor at the
South Transit Center. Other possible library sites could be at,bike shops on the Mason
Corridor at Laurel,NRRC,and Troutman.
Chris Gaughan pointed out that new Fort Collins Museum and Discovery Science Center at
Cherry and Mason (and the Poudre Bike Trail)could be an excellent site for a north anchor
bike library branch.
Clint raised the possibility of the bike library being involved with pedicabs. Could there be a
possibility of volunteer Pedi cabbies bringing in funds for the bike library from pedicab
fares?

As you can see there are a lot of exciting projects, programs, and services that Transportation Planning
and FC Bikes will be involved with this year.
The magnitude of work effort coupled with the reduced staffing this year will likely present some
challenges for us. We ask for the BAC's support, suggestions,and patience as we work through these
new opportunities and challenges throughout 2011 and 2012.
Please let us know which of the above mentioned projects, programs, and services the BAC is interested
in focusing on this year.
I will not be available to attend the rescheduled BAC meeting on February 22"d, so DK Kemp will be
your staff liaison and can help address your questions during the BAC meeting. However, I will be glad to-
follow-up with any of your questions either via phone or email and/or at the BAC meeting in March.
Thank you.
