Description

The Guildford E-bike hire scheme will be Surrey County Councils pilot on-street public e-bike hire scheme, being delivered in collaboration with Guildford Borough Council (GBC) and the University of Surrey. All three organisations share a common goal to promote cycling as an attractive, accessible, and practical mode of transport and have worked together to identify and facilitate the deployment of an e-bike scheme in Guildford. The introduction of an e-bike concession, which will operate in and around Guildford town centre, supports the following Partnership strategy and policies: • To promote active travel and the Local Transport Plan (LTP4) to all residents and visitors to Guildford. • To reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality through a reduction in local journeys currently made by car and associated congestion in and around Guildford town centre. • To generate revenue without risk and support a sustainable self-sustaining e-bike scheme. • The contract will be awarded as a concession contract, with permitted rights to operate and maintain an e-bike public hire scheme in and around Guildford town centre and on the University of Surrey campus.
