Bike Share Expansion

The Bike Share Expansion project added 11 new bike share docking stations across Berkeley.

The 48 total stations across the city make it easier to bike without the worries of maintenance and theft that come with ownership.

With stations distributed across the city, bike share can also help you and others bridge a barrier to mass transit known as “the last mile” – the distance from a BART station or AC Transit stop to someone’s home.

The City of Berkeley collaborated with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) to identify locations for new bike share stations as part of an expansion of the regional bike share network.

In May 2025, the City conducted community engagement activities to gather public input on proposed station locations. A presentation summarizing the bike share expansion program, shared during the community event, is available below under Past Events.

Based on community feedback, City staff finalized the locations for 11 new bike share stations, listed below and shown in the interactive map:

• Berkeley Library – North Branch
  • Selected in lieu of Solano / The Alameda location, which was removed due to safety concerns and limited connectivity to the surrounding bike share network.
• Tom Bates Sports Complex
• 10^th / Gilman
• Curtis / Gilman
• James Kenney Park
• Berkeley Marina
• Strawberry Creek Park
• Hearst / Gayley
• Clark Kerr
• Russell / Grant
• California / Dwight
  • The City is working with the community through Fall 2026 to re-site this recently installed station.
