“This Citi Bike expansion is the latest way we’re making it easier and more affordable to get around New York City, particularly for low-income New Yorkers,” Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement. “People in Brownsville and other low-income neighborhoods deserve Citi Bike access as much as any other New Yorker, and this expansion brings us closer to ensuring just that."

The expansion will begin starting in fall 2025 and bring Citi Bike access to an additional 900,000 residents, officials said.
Also, more docks will be added in some of the system’s busiest existing areas to improve access to bikes and parking, including in Midtown and Downtown Manhattan, Harlem and East Harlem, Downtown Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and Park Slope.
After the expansion, 64 percent of New Yorkers will live within a five-minute walk of Citi Bike station, officials said.
