Although Indego operates all year long, we take necessary precautions to protect our riders and equipment. To prepare for this weekend’s storm, we anticipate full service interruption beginning today, Friday, January 22nd at 6:00 PM. Safety is our top priority, and stations will be powered down until the snow has stopped falling and conditions are safe. Once a station is down you will no longer be able to remove a bicycle, but you will be able to dock a bike. If you have any questions, please call us at 844-446-3346 or email support@rideindego.com.
Check Indego’s website, Twitter, and Facebook for real-time updates and news on when service will be restored. @RideIndego
We are just a few days away from Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a holiday that gives us a chance to make an impact in our community through service. From painting schools to cleaning up public spaces, there are a number of activities taking place that give everyone the opportunity to roll up their sleeves and give back.
Indego is excited to help get you to and from service projects across the city! See below for a list of ideas compiled from our friends at Visit Philly and the Department of Parks and Recreation, as well as many others.

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”
Back in October, we recruited 5 Indego Community Ambassadors to be a part of the “Faces of Indego” campaign. This year we are creating 5 more ads to be featured on buses, billboards, TV and social media, and we want to highlight you! If you ride Indego to work or school, to run errands, or just for fun, we want to tell your story.
Participate in our Faces of Indego contest and become the next Indego star!
Please submit your answers to the questions below along with a photo of you (your friends, cousin, or mama too) with an Indego bike or at a station. No pictures while riding – safety first! Email answers and images to marketing@rideindego.com with the subject line: Faces of Indego 2016.
Contest ends February 3rd. Photoshoot occurs in February.

The City of Philadelphia and its partners at Bicycle Transit Systems are pleased to share anonymized Indego trip data with the public. The privacy of Indego passholders and users is very important to us, and information won’t be released unless the City can ensure that the identities of individuals or groups cannot be discerned and that their privacy is not compromised.
Toss it, flip it, turn it inside out, combine it with your own or someone else’s data! Tell us how many trips happened in the rain, or after midnight, or below 50 degrees – we want your help to delve into the data and reveal the hidden gems of understanding that will allow us to make Indego the best it can be.
We are releasing the data for the first six months of trips now, and in the future we will release trip data quarterly.
Indego turns 1 on April 23rd! To celebrate, we will party and grow. Later this Spring, Indego will expand service into new neighborhoods thanks to the William Penn Foundation. Be sure to follow @RideIndego on social media for special birthday week activities (think station pop-ups with goodies!), updates on new station locations as they are installed and new bikes as they are released to the streets.In the meantime, let’s take a trip down memory lane with 12 favorite moments from this past year.
Indego has come a long way in 2015. We started the year as a big idea with lots of promise, and in the last 12 months we got a name, a sponsor, a color, a map, 700 bikes, 73 stations, a cash payment system, 20+ staff, over 400,000 rides, and over 7,000 of you, our passholders, riders, and friends. You have been there every step of the way, enthusiastically cheering us on, and being supportive as we continue to learn and grow. Thank you!
2016 promises to be pretty exciting as well. We’re looking forward to our system expanding thanks to a William Penn Foundation grant, spending quality time with our new General Manager, and continuing to provide quality operations, marketing and customer service.
Thanks for making 2015 successful, and fun. Happy Holidays!
