Bublr 2.0 is the largest investment in Milwaukee's bike share since it launched in 2014. This major system upgrade will add 500 e-bikes to Bublr's fleet and 800 new docks to the grow the number of stations.

Goals

• Electrify Bublr's bike fleet: Bublr's popular e-bikes make it easier and faster to get to where you're going
• Densify the network of stations: placing stations closer to one another gives riders more options and makes Bublr more useful for daily trips
• Increase access to bike share: adding stations in new neighborhoods means more residents have access to a convenient, healthy, sustainable, and fun way to get around

There are a several key criteria used to identify new bike share stations:

1. Sidewalk space

Stations must be placed on concrete in public spaces at least 8 feet wide to allow an accessible path around docks with parked bikes.

2. Demand for micromobility

Stations should be placed near where people want to go. The City uses dockless scooter trip data to identify locations with the highest demand for micromobility.

3. Safe places to bike

Stations should be prioritized along the City's growing protected bikeway network.

4. Distance between stations

Stations should be evenly spaced at walkable distances. Bublr 2.0 uses the following criteria:

Area	Description	Station Distance
Core	Heart of the system, higher density & ridership (Downtown, East Side, Third Ward, Walker's Point)	1,000 feet (approx. 3 city blocks)
Expansion	Surrounding neighborhoods, lower density & ridership	2,000 feet (approx. 6 city blocks)

Bublr's new stations are clusters of freestanding black docks. These sleek docks are more compact and can be uniquely grouped so that bike share stations can fit on more streets throughout the city.
