the HIBIKE bicycles available for participants who are thinking about "getting back into biking" but do not have a bicycle at the time of the class. PATH also worked with the West Hawai'i Community Health Center and their Diabetes Prevention Program, offering bicycle skills programs Ill. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Location of Project: Kailua-Kona, and Hilo Hawai'i A. Number of Persons Who Will Benefit: Approximately 15,000 residents and visitors B. Project Description (give a brief description of the work that will be done with the funds requested, including a timeframe) • The support being requested will fund the continued day to day operation of the Kailua-Kona and Hilo Bikeshare systems called HIBIKE • The development and implementation of a more robust membership program that will allow "unbanked" residents to sign up for Bikeshare membership without having to have a credit card; • The expansion of the HIBIKE system with the addition of 12 stations split between Hilo and Kailua-Kona. Three (3) stations will be fifty (50) feet and nine (9) stations will be forty (40) foot stations. • Introduction of e-bicycles. • Addition of GPS trackers on bicycles. Our long-term goal is to demonstrate the ability of HIBIKE to improve local environmental health, energy sustainability, quality of life, public health, and economic activity, and more robust transportation options, among other key urban livability indicators. No other form of public transportation is able to unlock such wide-ranging benefits for the same modest level of capital and operating investment. Unbanked Program 1. If an unbanked person requests access to the HIBIKE system, PATH's Contractor will provide them with a website link to the signup form. 2. The person will complete the form, sign, and either email or mail PATH's Contractor the completed form. A valid ID as well as an image of the person holding the ID for confirmation would be required. 3. Once received, PATH's Contractor will need two (2) business days for processing. Within this period if any information is missing or not valid PATH's Contractor will reach out to the person for correction. 4. Once completed, the person would need to pay via invoice or use a prepaid card credit card with a Visa/Mastercard/American Express logo on the PATH's Contractor website to access the bikeshare system. If a Hele-On passenger, then the passenger would enter the code into the bikeshare system app or kiosk to unlock bicycle. 5. The person will pay for the initial subscription fee using the website link and their prepaid card with a Visa/Mastercard/American Express logo. 16
