UPDATE: Registration for this course has been extended. There will be a mini-orientation at Lutheran Settlement House on October 5th, 2016 between 2pm and 5pm. To sign up, call 1-844-446-3346!

The Better Bike Share Partnership (BBSP) is an effort led by the City of Philadelphia that works to ensure that Indego is accessible to all Philadelphians.  Indego helps Philadelphians get to all kinds of places, and as we expand to new neighborhoods, we are working with partners to create opportunities for residents to connect with resources in their communities. Indego is new and exciting, and we are committed to offering educational opportunities to help everyone learn to use the system.

Thanks to the Better Bike Share Partnership, the City of Philadelphia’s Office of Transportation & Infrastructure Systems teamed up with the Office of Adult Education to run  digital skills training courses for adult learners that combine building digital skills with learning about Indego.

Last Spring’s program was so successful that Digital Skills and Bicycle Thrills is back in September. Participants will learn digital skills at their own pace while completing assignments related to Indego and bike sharing. They will also have the opportunity to participate in a group ride and learn safe cycling skills. Individuals who complete the program will receive a free six-month pass to Indego.

Sign up to participate in this free class by calling 1-844-446-3346!

Orientation Date:

Wednesday, October 5th, 5:30pm – 7:30pm
Lutheran Settlement House
1340 Frankford Ave
Philadelphia, PA

This program is a collaboration between Indego, the Office of Transportation and Infrastructure Systems, the Better Bike Share Partnership, the Office of Innovation Technology, the Office of Adult Education, the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia, and the KEYSPOT network. The Better Bike Share Partnership is funded by the JBP Foundation.

While visiting South Philly Indego stations, you may come across a wonderful woman who will greet you with a smile, and can give you the 411 on how to ride Indego. Ivonne Pinto, a hard working mother of one, migrated from the State of Puebla in Mexico 11 years ago, and currently resides in South Philadelphia. The newly-minted Better Bike Share Ambassador loves to be involved in a lot of community activities and finds herself volunteering with different organizations all over the city.

How long have you been part of the Indego team?
I’ve been a regular on Team Indego for ruff-ly 8 months so since January 2016.

Tell us a little bit about yourself and your position.
I’ve had the hard task of being both adorable and ensuring everyone’s work day is both positive and productive. When I’m not taking naps, I’m checking that the entire warehouse is running as a well oiled machine. If there are snacks available I have to ensure they are quality. It’s a lot of work, but some dog has to do it.
