Village Of Croton-On-Hudson 'Project MOVER' E-Bikeshare Ready For Launch

Press release from the Village of Croton-on-Hudson:

Project MOVER - the e-bikeshare program for Westchester Rivertowns - is launching in Croton-on-Hudson on July 9th! Visit the Project MOVER website to learn more about the program. The kick-off will happen on July 9th at the Grand Street entrance to Dobbs Park at 11 a.m. All Village residents are invited to join in the celebration and fun as the program gets underway.

The ribbon-cutting will feature local leaders, test rides, and participation info. In Croton, there will be Project Mover hubs at the Croton-Harmon Train Station, the Grand Street entrance to Dobbs Park, upper Grand Street near Holy Name of Mary Church, the sidewalk in front of Maple Commons, South Riverside Avenue near Oneida Avenue, and the Croton Free Library. Each hub will have 5 or 6 bikes which are accessed via an app and QR code.

The Village has prepared a video which provides an overview of Project MOVER and answers some basic questions from Croton residents on how the program works. You can view the video in English and Español. Bicycle safety is an important priority of Project MOVER in Croton. On July 12th, at 10 a.m. in the Community Room of the Municipal Building, Project Action is sponsoring a special Smart Cycling Class. There is no cost, but it is important register if you want to participate. Visit Project MOVER Smart Cycling Class Registration for all the information on the class.

Project MOVER in Croton-on-Hudson is part of a regional program which began in the summer of 2024 in the Village of Ossining and has now been expanded to the Town of Ossining, Tarrytown, Sleep Hollow and, as of July 9, Croton. Dobbs Ferry is expected to join soon.

The regional aspect of the program means you can pick up a bike in Croton but drop it off at a hub in any of the other participating communities. Project MOVER is run by Drop Mobility in partnership with Shared Mobility, Inc. It supports New York State’s climate goals by providing clean mobility options. The pilot brought 50 e-bikes and 11 hubs to Ossining, recording 1,459 trips over 106 days. Funded by NYSERDA via the Clean Transportation Prize initiative, the system aims to reduce car trips, improve air quality, and offer a fun way to travel.
