KRT Bike Racks
The Mountain State Wheelers Bicycle Club received a $4,520.00 grant from the Sustainable Kanawha Valley Initiative (SKVI) in November of 2004 to put bike racks on the Kanawha Valley Regional Transit Authority (KRT). This grant amount was used as a 20% match to get CMAQ funds of $14,736.00. These fund were used to purchase 65 bike racks to install on every bus in the fleet. KRT graciously installed the racks at their costs. KRT also created a wonderful brochure on how to use these racks. Click here to view or print the brochure.
The racks hold 2 bikes each. They are available to any KRT rider at no extra cost. First come, first served. Since inception, use of these racks have exceeded projected use. KRT is extremely pleased with the response so far.
A special thanks to SKVI and KRT for seeing the value in this project, especially at a time increased costs for transportation.
