TERAMO. The Municipality of Teramo has joined the e-bike sharing project proposed by Tua aimed at promoting sustainable mobility and promoting integration between public transport means. The initiative, at zero cost for the Municipality, provides for the provision of 70 electric bicycles for citizens, tourists and commuters which will be positioned in 18 stations scattered throughout the municipal territory and which, through the use of a specific application for smartphone, they can be collected from the nearest station and then returned, at the end of use, to the same station or to a different location.
With the aim of guaranteeing the use of the bikes by a diverse range of users and at the same time limiting any damage and theft, the bikes will also be equipped with a non-removable saddle and with notches indicating the height and a GPS localization and data transmission.
As regards the cost of the service, citizens will be able to choose between various tariff plans made available by the company, which include a subscription as well as a variable tariff linked to the duration of the bike rental. “We have embraced this project with conviction which fits perfectly into the policy of promoting sustainable mobility that we as a Municipality have been pursuing for some time”, explains the councilor Antonio Filipponi, “to encourage it, it is essential to guarantee integration between public transport means and promote those activities, such as bike sharing, which also have the added value of allowing citizens to embrace a more sustainable and economical lifestyle”. «With this project», adds the mayor Gianguido D’Alberto«we continue on that path which has seen us intercept important funding for interventions such as the creation of a system of cycle paths connecting the university buildings and the main railway stations and for the ambitious “Magic Italy’s Center” initiative, which brings together three regions of the seismic crater and which aims to create the largest trail network for e-bikes”.
