There are currently two bike-share programs in the works in Delaware.
One is happening in Wilmington, where the city and DelDOT are in the process of determining the feasibility of such a program. Now, there is another bike share being planned in Newark at the University of Delaware, where the university is hoping to partner with the city to implement a program on its campus.
As reported by WDEL, the university’s plans include the implementation of 75 Gotcha Smart Bikes, which feature solar-powered GPS systems on each bike. There is also talk of a possible partnership with local digital infrastructure company SevOne.
