Pedal Corvallis is officially here! Thanks to the partnership of Oregon Cascades West Council of Governments and InterCommunity Health Network Coordinated Care Organization the community bikeshare has arrived to Corvallis, OR. Zagster© is operating the share, a company who operates more than 130 programs nationwide. The community bikeshare program is targeted to aid Medicaid members for medial appointments and personal trips, but is open to all community members ages 18+. 

A community bikeshare adds positiveps to the community it surrounds. A bikeshare gets more people on bikes! Shocking, right? Bikeshares positively impact local business since riders
increase their spending in the surrounding areas. Biking promotes improved health, since biking just 30 minutes a day can reduce the risk of heart disease by 82%! And finally traffic improves. As traffic improves, transit connections are more reliable and easier.
